Helical tomotherapy for craniospinal radiation

Helical tomotherapy (FIT) plans for craniospinal radiation were generated for the case of a 4-year-old boy with disseminated ependymoma. The HT plans demonstrated excellent target coverage. homogeneity and organ sparing compared with a conventional linear accelerator based craniospinal radiation plan. On the basis of this case study, further evaluation of HT for craniospinal radiotherapy seems justified.
