- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method To compare the dosimetric profile of the contralateral submandibular gland with VMAT and IMRT in head and neck irradiation.Timepoint: There is no time point in the study. It is a record based study which compares dose received by tumour and organs at risk using two radiation delivery techniques.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method a.To compare the target volume dosimetry using the conformity index (CI) and homogeneity index (HI) between VMAT and IMRT in head and neck cancer irradiation. <br/ ><br>b.To compare the dosimetric profile of other organs at risk (parotid gland, brainstem, spinal cord, cochlea, optic apparatus, oral cavity) between VMAT and IMRT in head and neck cancer irradiation. <br/ ><br>Timepoint: There is no time point in the study. It is a record based study which compares dose received by tumour and organs at risk using two radiation delivery techniques.
