Figures & data
Table I. Comparison of population averaged PTV dose parameters from different planning techniques (3D-CRT and VMAT) in free-breathing (FB) and in vmDIBH (voluntary moderate deep inspiration breath hold) for the 21 patients with 2 CT scans and 4 different plans.
Table II. Comparison of number of monitor units (MU), ipsilateral lung volumes, and organs at risk dose parameters from different planning techniques (3D-CRT and VMAT) in free-breathing (FB) and breath-hold (vmDIBH), averaged for the 21 patients with 2 CT scans and four different plans.
Figure 1. Mean heart dose reduction compared with the 3D-CRT(FB) technique as a result of 3D-CRT(vmDIBH) (×), VMAT(FB) (×) and VMAT(vmDIBH) (×) as a function of the mean heart dose for 3D-CRT(FB) for the 21 patients with 2 CT scans and 4 treatment plans.
