3D-CRT vs. IMRT vs. VMAT for APBI
Qiu et al. Med Dosim 39:152-158. 2014
-
IMRT and V-MATplans
are
more conformal
than the 3D-CRT plans
- volume of ipsilateral breast receiving 5 and 10 Gy was the smallest using the VMAT
-
ipsilateral lung
irradiated by 10 or 20 Gy was significantly
less with both VMAT and IMRT
- the IMRT technique was superior to 3D-CRT and VMAT of low dose distributions in ipsilat. lung
