Volume-based algorithm of lung dose optimization in novel dynamic arc radiotherapy for esophageal cancer

Abstract This study aims to develop a volume-based algorithm (VBA) that can rapidly optimize rotating gantry arc angles and predict the lung V5 preceding the treatment planning. This phantom study was performed in the dynamic arc therapy planning systems for an esophageal cancer model. The angle of...
