Abstract
Purpose To determine dose constraints that correlate with alopecia in patients treated with photon-based Volumetric Modulated Arc Therapy (VMAT) for primary brain tumors. Methods During the treatment planning process, the scalp was drawn as a region of interest. Dose received by 0.1 cc (D0.1cc), mean dose (Dmeanscalp), volumes receiving different doses (V16Gy, V20Gy, V25Gy, V30Gy, V35Gy, V40Gy, and V43Gy) were registered for the scalp. Alopecia...
