Dosimetric comparison of pipe-joint versus conventional VMAT for lattice radiotherapy in bulky tumors: a retrospective planning study
Lattice radiotherapy (LRT) is a promising spatially fractionated technique for bulky tumors. However, when lattice vertices extend over a large superior–inferior distance, conventional volumetric modulated arc therapy (c-VMAT) may require broad jaw apertures, which may compromise longitudinal dose modulation, increase...
