Abstract
Plans created using five discrete slice CT scans were inferior to full CT-derived IMRT treatment plans, and are therefore not acceptable for IMRT. However, interpolating five CT simulator slices provides adequate anatomical information to produce comparable IMRT plans to those created by full CT scans of the patient. This allows the introduction of IMRT for this patient group without the need to change treatment position to accommodate CT scanning.
