Effect of simultaneous integrated boost concepts on photoneutron and distant out-of-field doses in VMAT for prostate cancer

A simultaneous integrated boost (SIB) may result in increased out-of-field (DOOF) and photoneutron (HPN) doses in volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) for prostate cancer (PCA). This work therefore aimed to compare DOOF and HPN in flattened (FLAT) and flattening filter-free (FFF) 6‑MV and 10-MV V...

Description
Summary:A simultaneous integrated boost (SIB) may result in increased out-of-field (DOOF) and photoneutron (HPN) doses in volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) for prostate cancer (PCA). This work therefore aimed to compare DOOF and HPN in flattened (FLAT) and flattening filter-free (FFF) 6‑MV and 10-MV VMAT treatment plans with and without SIB.
