چکیده مقاله:

Background: As compared to the flattened photon beam, removing the flattening filter (FF) from the head of a gantry decreases the average energy of the photon beam and increases the dose rate, leading to an impact on the quality of treatment plans.Objective: This study aimed to compare the quality of intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) treatment plans for esophageal cancer with and without a flattened filter photon beam.Material and Methods: In this analytical study, ۱۲ patients, who had already been treated with a ۶X FF photon beam, were treated based on new IMRT methods using a ۶X the flattening filter-free (FFF) photon beam. Both ۶X FF IMRT and ۶X FFF IMRT plans used identical beam parameters and planning objectives. All plans were evaluated with planning indices and doses for organs at risk (OARs).Results: Insignificant dose variation was for HI, CI, D۹۸%, and V۹۵% between FF and FFF photon beam IMRT plans. FF-based IMRT plan delivered a ۱۵.۵۱% and ۱۱.۲۷% higher mean dose to both lungs and heart than the FFF plan, respectively. The integral dose (ID) for the heart and lungs was ۱۱.۲۱% and ۱۵.۵۱%, respectively, less in the IMRT plan with an FFF photon beam. Conclusion: In contrast to the FF photon beam, a filtered photon beam-oriented IMRT plan provides significant OAR sparing without losing the quality of the treatment plan. High monitor units (MUs), low ID, and Beam on Time (BOT) are major highlights of the IMRT plan with FFF beam.
