Impact of MLC leaf width on volumetric‐modulated arc therapy planning for head and neck cancers

This dosimetric study investigated the impact of multileaf collimators (MLC) leaf width in volumetric‐modulated arc therapy (VMAT) for head and neck cancers (HNC), either with a “standard” simultaneously integrated boost technique (S‐SIB) or with a “dose painting” SIB technique (DP‐SIB). HNC patient...
