  To select the best treatment plan in terms of quality, delivery time, and monitor units resulting from different planning scenarios with different arcs and segment widths for patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma treated with the Simultaneous Integrated Boost-Volumetric Modulated Arc Therapy (SIB-VMAT) technique using the MONACO treatment planning system. A dosimetric comparison of eight VMAT phantom planning techniques was performed on 30 patients by changing the number of arcs and the minimum segment width, where the eight techniques were abbreviated as A (maximum number of arcs, minimum segment width in cm). Thus, the eight techniques were A1(1, 0.5), A2(1, 1), A3(1, 1.5), A4(1,2), A5(2, 0.5), A6(2, 1), A7(2, 1.5), and A8(2, 2). There was a significant difference in the dose delivered to the organs at risk among the eight plans. The best target coverage was for the A1 and A5 plans.. Read More»
