Abstract

The
aim of this study is the target volüme dose and critical organ doses in three
different radiotherapy plans reported with the volumetric arc therapy (VMAT)
teqniques in head and neck cancer (H&N) radiotherapy

            In radiotherapy plans,
with 8 H&N patients; the form of double rotation 1 arc (sVMAT), double ark
(dVMAT) and 15⁰ collimator angles (cVMAT) plans have been prepared.

            In three methods, the prescribed dose of the target
volüme could be given in the desired way. No significant difference was
abserved in the values of the left and right parotid D_mean, however,
the sVMAT tecnique for the right parotid was found lower dose value.

In
three different plans, sVAMT dose was provided in the desired way and organ
doses could be kept within the desired limits. However the low dose value obtanied
from the parotid gland and the brain stem has made sVMAT tecnique superior to
other tecniques.

Baş Boyun Kanseri (H&N) Radyoterapisinde Üç Farklı Hacimsel Ayarlı Ark Terapi (VMAT) Tekniği İle Hedef Hacim ve Kritik Organ Dozlarının Retrospektif İncelenmesi

Abstract

Baş
boyun kanseri (H&N) radyoterapisinde hacimsel ayarlı ark terapi (VMAT)
tekniği ile hazırlanan üç farklı radyoterapi planında, hedef hacim dozu ve
kritik organ dozlarını incelemesi hedeflenmiştir.

Çalışmada 8 baş boyun
kanseri (H&N) tanılı olgu değerlendirildi. Radyoterapi planlarında; çift
rotasyon şeklinde 1 ark (sVMAT), çift ark (dVMAT) ve 15⁰ kolimatör
açılı olacak şekilde (cVMAT) planları hazırlandı.

Üç
yöntemde hedef hacme reçete edilen doz istenilen şekilde verilebilmiştir. Sağ
ve sol parotis D_mean değerlerinde anlamlı fark gözlenmemiş ancak sağ
parotis için sVMAT tekniği daha düşük doz aldığı görülmüştür.

Üç
farklı planda tümör dozu istenilen şekilde sağlanmıştır ve organ dozlarımız
istenilen sınırlar içerisinde tutulabilmiştir. Ancak parotis bezi ve beyin
sapında elde edilen düşük doz değeri sVMAT tekniğini diğer tekniklere göre
üstün kılmıştır.
