It is aimed to compare the values of conformity index (CI), homogeneity index (HI), monitor unit (MU) of volumetrically adjusted arthritis therapy (VMAT) plans using 10 prostate cancer patients with flattened filter (FF) and without flattening filter (FFF). In the study, treatment plans were prepared using 6 FF and 6 FFF in the Eclipse (ver.13.6) treatment planning system with Varian Trilogy Linear Accelerator. When planning was completed, CI averaged 0.87, HI averaged 0.44 and MU values were found to be 591 ± 26.8, 650 ± 33.06, respectively. When the PTV coverage, CI, HI and MU comparisons were made as a result of planning, there was no significant difference when comparing VMAT plans in FFF and FF energies. When we compare the MU values, the MU increase is seen when the straightening filter is removed. In both energy modes, good homogeneity in PTV was achieved with conventional francitation and close dose rates. No significant advantages and disadvantages of the unfiltered energy mode were observed in the assessment of plan quality in terms of CI, HI.
