| Summary: | Proton and photon radiotherapy have become essential treatment methods in
treating cancer. The number of radiation angles in therapy planning significantly
influences the success of the therapy. Therefore, the aim of this study is to
investigate the dose distribution of proton and photon radiotherapy on Organs at
Risk (OAR) based on the number of radiation beam angles. This study involves
dosimetry planning using matRad to create a Treatment Planning System (TPS) to
observe and compare the dose distribution on the tumor target and OAR. By varying
the number of radiation angles, this study will evaluate the effectiveness of both
radiotherapy methods in delivering an optimal dose to the target while minimizing
the dose to OAR. The results of the study are expected to provide further insights
into the impact of the number of angles on dose distribution, providing a basis for
selecting a more accurate radiotherapy method and improving the quality of cancer
care.
