Background: This study aimed to assess and contrast the efficacy of two approaches for planning treatment, namely IMRT and VMAT, for individuals who suffer from spinal cord tumors that have metastasized from other body regions. Materials and Methods: This study involved 60 randomly selected patients with vertebral spinal cord bone cancerous tumors. The study compared the use of two treatment planning techniques, IMRT and VMAT, using the MONACO 5.1 Treatment Planning System (TPS) and ELEKTA's Agility linear accelerator. A prescribed dose of 20 Gy per 5 fractions was set for the study. Both IMRT and VMAT planning techniques were used, and the maximum iteration of calculations was limited to 500 times. The study evaluated the dose Homogeneity (HI) and the Conformity Index (CI) of the two planning techniques. Results: The results show that males have a higher mean age than females. Th.. Read More»
