, A radiation oncology department has a selection of 6, 10, and 18 MV photon
beams. For a 7 beam prostate Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT)
plan, it would be appropriate to select a/an:
A. 6 MV photon beam because it would deliver no neutron dose and the lowest
doses to the tissue outside the planning target volume (PTV).
B. 6 MV photon beam because it would deliver some neutron dose, but give
the best dose distribution to the PTV.
C. 10 MV photon beam because it would deliver a lower neutron dose than an
18 MV photon beam and clinically acceptable doses to the bladder and rectum.
D. 10 MV photon beam because it would deliver no neutron dose and the
lowest doses to the tissue outside the PTV. Answer - A. 6 MV photon beam
because it would deliver no neutron dose and the lowest doses to the tissue
outside the planning target volume (PTV).
