The volumetric modulated arc therapy plans were independently optimized for each photon machine while the intensity modulated proton therapy was planned for proton. Dosimetric measurements were taken using a 0.125 cc semiflex ionization chamber at three planning target volumes (PTVs) and one spinal cord point.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      The Kruskal\u2013Wallis test revealed no significant differences in dose\/volume parameters across the different modalities (\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">P<\/jats:italic>\n                      = 0.976). However, the Varian TrueBeam system showed a higher percentage dose difference compared to the other modalities, with the largest deviation of \u22123.7%. The O-ring gantry systems, Varian Halcyon and Varian ETHOS, demonstrated smaller dose differences and deviations compared to the C-based gantry systems. The Varian ETHOS delivered the highest number of monitor units at 641.6, while the Clinac iX delivered the lowest at 407.0. The ProBeam system showed good results for PTV and spinal cord.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The implementation of the E2E test using an anthropomorphic H and N phantom has proven feasible across multiple radiotherapy modalities in both photon and proton machines.
