Background Intensity‐modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) uses solid compensators or
multileaf collimators to modulate the intensity of radiation in each field, delivering highly …

Background Several comparison studies have shown the capability of VMAT to achieve
similar or better plan quality as IMRT, while reducing the treatment time. The experience of …

This dosimetric study investigated the impact of multileaf collimators (MLC) leaf width in
volumetric‐modulated arc therapy (VMAT) for head and neck cancers (HNC), either with a …

Background Intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) improves dose distribution in head
and neck (HN) radiation therapy. Volumetric-modulated arc therapy (VMAT), a new form of …

The advanced developments in external beam radiation therapy (EBRT) over the past few
decades have improved dose conformity to the target while minimizing dose to the …

Introduction Radiotherapy for head and neck cancer (HNC) has evolved rapidly in the past
decades from conformal three‐dimensional technique (3D‐CRT) to intensity‐modulated …

PURPOSE: Volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) has the potential to shorten treatment
times for fluence modulated radiotherapy. We compared dose distributions of VMAT, step …

BACKGROUND: The quality of Volumetric Modulated Arc Therapy (VMAT) plans is highly
dependent on the performance of the optimization algorithm used. Recently new algorithms …

Background Compared to static beam Intensity-Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT), the
main advantage of Volumetric Modulated Arc Therapy (VMAT) is a shortened delivery time …

PURPOSE: Volumetric intensity-modulated arc therapy (RA) allows for rapid delivery of
highly conformal dose distributions. In this study, planning and dosimetry of RA were …
