Examination of the dose distribution of volumetric modulated arc radiotherapy using a high-definition multi-leaf collimator for breast cancer patients with irradiated regional lymph nodes

BACKGROUND: A high-definition multi-leaf collimator (HD-MLC) with 5- and 10-mm fine MLCs is useful for radiotherapy. However, it is difficult to irradiate the mammary gland and supraclavicular region using a HD-MLC because of the narrow field of volumetric modulated arc radiotherapy (VMAT). Therefor...
