Dosimetric impact of adding non-coplanar arcs for scalp-avoidance whole-brain irradiation with volumetric-modulated arc radiotherapy on scalp dose reduction in pediatric patients with medulloblastomas
CONCLUSION: NcVMAT could reduce the EQD50%scalp of the top area below the cut-off dose of 19.9 Gy. NcVMAT appears to be a promising treatment technique for SAWB-VMAT.PMID:37917885 | DOI:10.1002/acm2.14189
