Abstract
For target coverage, the volume receiving more than 95% of the prescribed dose ranged from 77% (OTP) to 91% (Eclipse and Pinnacle), the volume receiving more than 107% ranged from 3.3% (Hyperion) to 23.2% (OTP). The mean dose to ipsilateral lung ranged from 13Â Gy (Eclipse) to 18Â Gy (OTP). The volume of the contralateral breast receiving more than 10Â Gy ranged from 3% (Pinnacle) to 26% (Precise). The volume of heart receiving more than 20Â Gy ranged from 7% (Eclipse) to 47% (Precise), the maximum significant dose to heart ranged from â¼27Â Gy (XiO) to â¼49Â Gy (Precise). The maximum significant dose to healthy tissue ranged from â¼51Â Gy (Eclipse) to â¼62Â Gy (OTP). It was also possible to show that the treatment geometry proposed here enables to minimise contralateral breast irradiation while keeping minimal ipsilateral lung (or heart) involvement and satisfactory target coverage.
