Influence of photon energy on the quality of prostate intensity modulated radiation therapy plans based on analysis of physical indices

The goal of the present study was to study the effects of low- and high-energy intensity-modulated photon beams on the planning of target volume and the critical organs in cases of localized prostate tumors in a cohort of 8 patients. To ensure that the difference between the plans is due to energy a...
