Resumen

Dose prescription for the inhomogeneous dosing in spatially fractionated radiation therapy (SFRT) is challenging, and further hampered by the inability of several planning systems to incorporate complex SFRT dose patterns. We developed dosing reference tables for an inventory of tumour scenarios and tested their accuracy with water phantom measurements of GRID therapy, delivered by a standard commercial GRID collimator. We find that dose heterogeneity parameters and EUD modeling are consistent across tumour sizes, configurations, and treatment depths. These results suggest that the developed reference tables can be used as a practical clinical resource for clinical decision-making on GRID therapy and to facilitate heterogeneity dose estimates in clinical patients when this commercially available GRID device is used.
