Systematic quantitative evaluation of Plan-IQ for intensity-modulated radiation therapy after modified radical mastectomy
Abstract Radiotherapy (RT) is one of the main treatment strategies of breast cancer. It is challenging to design RT plans that can completely cover the target area while protecting organs at risk (OAR). The Plan-IQ feasibility tool can estimate the best sparing dose of OAR before optimizing the Plan...
