Abstract:: |
Objective To compare the dosimetric difference inforwardintensity modulationradiotherapy(fIMRT) and inverse IMRT (iIMRT) planning for breast cancer.Methods Six patients received radiotherapyalone after left breast-conserving surgery were selected.For each patient, two treatment plans (fI MRT andiI MRT) were designed with Pinnacle37.4f.In each plan, the volume of PTV received prescription dose was notless than 95%.The dosi metric parameters were assessed with dose volume histograms in planning target volume(PTV) and organ of around risk (OAR). Results of fIMRT and iIMRT plans, the PTV average confor malindex were (0.67±0.06) and (0.66±0.06) (t=2.423, P>0.05), average homogeneity index were(28.2±6.0)% and (26.1±6.8)% (t=2.164, P>0.05); the volume of left lung received 20 Gy (V20)were (18.7±3.3)% and (17.0±2.8)% (t=5.087, P<0.05), and V30of left lung were (15.5±3.0)% and (14.0±2.6)% (t=7.272, P<0.05); V30of heart were (4.1±3.1)% and (3.5±2.5)% (t=1.916, P>0.05); the total monitor units were (262±5) MU and (308±14) MU (t=7.515, P<0.05).Conclusions There were no significant differences of CI, HI, and V30of heart between fIMRT and iIMRT.Because of fewer MUs, fI MRT plan could reduce the machine abrasion and treatment ti me, but V20 and V30 of left lung are higher significantly than iI MRT plan. |
