Abstract

Volumetric modulated arc therapy has gained mainstream appreciation in certain disease sites for its conformal treatments and decreased time of delivery. Two prominent treatment-planning systems, Eclipse and Pinnacle, use differing computational algorithms to compute dose information. We intended to validate the Eclipse calculation of RapidArc in Pinnacle. Eclipse plan information was imported into Pinnacle with all control point information. RapidArc control points were converted to individual beams in the Pinnacle plans to effectively create a 177-beam plan for each arc.
