Purpose. Recently, Varian Medical Systems have announced the introduction of a new
treatment technique, RapidArc, in which dose is delivered over a single gantry rotation with …

Purpose To evaluate the performance of a model-based optimisation process for volumetric
modulated arc therapy applied to prostate cancer in a multicentric cooperative group. The …

RapidArc is a novel technique using arc radiotherapy aiming to achieve intensity-modulated
radiotherapy (IMRT)-quality radiotherapy plans with shorter treatment time. This study …

PURPOSE: Dosimetric results and treatment delivery efficiency of RapidArc plans to those of
conventional intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) plans were compared using the …

Purpose This study evaluated whether RapidPlan based plans (RP plans) created by a
single optimization, are usable in volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) for patients with …

Purpose To develop and evaluate fully automated volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT)
treatment planning for prostate cancer patients, avoiding manual trial-and-error tweaking of …

Background and purpose Reported plan quality improvements with autoplanning of
radiotherapy of the prostate and seminal vesicles are poor. A system for automated multi …

Purpose. Recently, Varian Medical Systems have announced the introduction of a new
treatment technique, in which dose is delivered over a single gantry rotation with variable …

AIMS: Volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) is a novel extension of intensity-modulated
radiotherapy (IMRT) where an optimised three-dimensional dose distribution may be …
