Abstract
In whole breast irradiation TD, E-VMAT and RA plans generated in this study achieved higher dose coverage and sparing of organs from the high dose in the vicinity of the PTV. The advantage of calculated FinF plans is the lowest dose on contralateral organs. The choice of the technique used should be weighted by each institution taking into account the dose characteristics of each technique and its fit with patient anatomy bearing in mind the increased workload of using modulated techniques and the increased beam on time.
