Treatment planning for radiotherapy with very high‐energy electron beams and comparison of VHEE and VMAT plans
Abstract
The aim of this work was to develop a treatment planning workflow for rapid radiotherapy delivered with very high‐energy electron (VHEE) scanning pencil beams of 60–120 MeV and to study VHEE plans as a function of VHEE treatment parameters. Additionally, VHEE plans were compared to clinical state‐of‐the‐art volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) photon plans for three cases.
