Description

To compare the secondary radiation doses following intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT), Rapidarc and Tomotherapy(TOMO) in patients with lung cancer by using a radiophotoluminescence glass dosimeter (RPLGD) which is newly introduced, as a substitution of themoluminescence dosimeter (TLD) or other. In conclusion, the secondary dose from TOMO is less than the secondary dose from conventional IMRT and RapidArc around the target area in spite of that tomotherapy has relatively higher monitor units(mu) than the other modalities. In another hand, it is found that rapidarc has shorter treatment time and MU than IMRT and TOMO
