A Model-based method for assessment of salivary gland and planning target volume dosimetry in volumetric-modulated arc therapy planning on head-and-neck cancer

This study examined the relationship of achievable mean dose and percent volumetric overlap of salivary gland with the planning target volume (PTV) in volumetric-modulated arc therapy (VMAT) plan in radiotherapy for a patient with head-and-neck cancer. The aim was to develop a model to predict the v...
