Comparison between Proton and X-ray in the Treatment Planning of Patients with Medullo Blastoma

Objective To compare the treatment plans between X-ray comformal radiotherapy and proton radiation therapy (PRT) for patients with medulloblastoma,to obtain a better technique in the treatment of medulloblastoma. Methods Five patients with medulloblastoma were chosen in the study.Using the Eclipse photon 7.3.2 and Eclipse proton 7.3.2 treatment planning systems from Varian,two different methods of radiotherapy planning: X-ray conformal planning and proton conformal planning were designed for the patients.The...
