Analyzation of the local confidence limits for IMRT and VMAT based on AAPM TG119 report
The aim of this study was to generate a local confidence limit (CL) for intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) and volumetric-modulated arc therapy (VMAT) techniques for Clinac IX linear accelerator using the American Association of Physicists in Medicine (AAPM) Task Group (TG119) protocol. The results were compared with the published studies to test the capability and quality of the VMAT technique in our clinic. We used TG119 cases to create plans for IMRT and VMAT in Eclipse Treatment Planning System for Clinac IX using 6 MV and 10 MV photons.
