Figure 2. ART Replanning.

Figure 2

An example of serial ART dose recalculation using a daily CT image acquired at the 25th treatment fraction. On the left, the original plan is calculated on current anatomy. The original plan provides inappropriate treatment margins and dose heterogeneity within the high dose CTV. In the middle figure, an earlier ART replan (ART1, designed at the 15th treatment fraction) is calculated onto current anatomy. On the right, a 2nd ART replan (ART2) is designed and calculated for the current daily image set. The ART2 plan provides improved contralateral parotid sparing and a lower total body dose than the ART1 plan.
