Comparison of Planned Versus Delivered Dose to Children Receiving Total Body Irradiation Using Volumetric Arc Therapy

Key Points

This evaluation aims to assess the accuracy of delivered doses in volumetric modulated arc therapy for total body irradiation in children.
Systematic review of dosimetric data for VMAT-TBI
Analysis of planned versus actual delivered doses
Focus on dose verification protocols and adaptive strategies
Confirmed high dosimetric precision of VMAT-TBI
Validated safety of the technique for clinical use
Provided evidence for optimizing implementation of low-dose regimens

Abstract

This first systematic evaluation of actual delivered doses in VMAT-TBI confirms the technique's dosimetric precision and safety. Our findings provide actionable evidence for optimizing VMAT-TBI implementation in clinical practice, particularly regarding dose verification protocols and adaptive strategies for low-dose regimens.
