Table 2.

Compared to 3D plans, number of cases that is dosimetrically in favor of the VMAT or FFF plans.

Index CI CN GI V5 V20 MLD MTD MU
Coplanar VMAT 14 14 12 12 13 15 5 0

Non-coplanar VMAT 14 14 12 13 14 14 8 2

Non-coplanar FFF-VMAT 15 15 13 14 15 14 11 0

The total number of cases is 15. In the table, CI = conformity index, CN = conformity number, GI = gradient index, V20 is the percentage volume of lung-GTV exceeding 20 Gy, V5 is the percentage volume of lung-GTV exceeding 5 Gy, MLD = mean lung dose, MTD = mean target dose and MU = number of monitor units.
