What is Reconstructed Volume Loss on Cone-beam CT Images of Moving Targets about?
conventional 3D static shaped beams and fixed-shape arcs, dynamic conformal arc beams (DARC) and intensity modulated beams (IMRS) offer potential advantages. New MLC designs with smaller leaf width and better penumbra are also being introduced to the clinic. This study analyzes the dosimetric benefits of three different delivery techniques using two different MLCs with leaf-width of 2.5 mm and 5 mm at the isocenter. Materials/Methods: A total of 12 cases treated with SRS/SBRT, including 4 brain, 4 liver and 4 spine lesions, were retrospectively studied. All the lesions were abutting or inside the critical structures (brainstem/liver/cord). The size of the lesions ranged 2. 6-12.5, 17.5-153.1, and 20.9 -87.7 cc for the brain, liver and spine, respectively. The brain and liver lesions were mostly ellipsoidal; with brain lesions having smaller volumes. The spine lesions were more complex in shape and had volumes similar to liver lesions. For brain and liver lesions, 3D conformal, DARC and IMRS plans were designed using both 2.5mm leaf-width HD120 MLC and 5mm leaf-width Millennium MLC. For spine lesions, IMRS plans with different MLCs were compared due to the concavity of the target sh
