Abstract

Purpose: IMRT and VMAT have been gradually replacing conventional 3D techniques, as they provide improved conformity and organ-sparing effects. This is especially so for the treatment of mediastinal lymphoma where many organs at risk (OARs) are in close proximity to the treatment volume. Although some dosimetric comparison studies have been done, none has provided any definitive conclusions as to which technique is superior. Thus, the aim of this study is to compare the dosimetric outcomes between IMRT and VMAT using 3 different collimator angles– 0°, 45° and 90°.
