A dosimetric comparative analysis of TomoDirect 3DCRT and conventional 3DCRT in case of left-sided breast cancer
- 1. Department of Medical Physics, Tata Memorial Hospital, Mumbai (India)
Description
Comparing the dosimetric parameters of TomoDirect (TD) 3DCRT with Tomotherapy and Conventional 3DCRT on Eclipse Treatment panning systems for carcinoma of left sided breast. 10 patients with left-sided breast cancer were selected for this study who had received whole breast radiotherapy following breast-conserving surgery. 3DCRT treatment plans were generated with Linear Accelerator on Eclipse TPS and TD-3DCRT on Tomotherapy TPS. Planning target Volume (PTV) and organ at risk (OAR) such as lung and heart were contoured. The Hypo fractionated treatment regimen was used to prescribe the dose to the planning target volume (PTV), i.e. 40 Gy in 15 fractions. The treatment Plans were compared using to dose-volume histogram analysis in term of PTV coverage, Homogeneity Index (HI), Conformity Index (CI) and dose to OARs
