… The earlier form of arc therapy, termed intensity modulated arc therapy (IMAT) was first
described by Yu in 1995 [26] and required the use of multiple superimposed arcs to achieve a …

… The new technique is referred to as volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT). Multileaf
collimator (MLC) leaf motion and number of MU per degree of gantry rotation is restricted during …

PURPOSE: To present treatment planning case studies for several treatment sites for which
volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) could have a positive impact; and to share an …

Purpose : Volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) is a specific type of intensity‐modulated
radiation therapy (IMRT) in which the gantry speed, multileaf collimator (MLC) leaf position, …

… This article discusses the current use of volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) techniques
in clinical practice and reviews the available data from clinical outcome studies in different …

Modern conformal radiation therapy using techniques such as modulation, image guidance
and motion management have changed the face of radiotherapy today offering superior …

… To develop an optimization method using volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) and
evaluate VMAT plans relative to the standard intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) …

Volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) has found widespread clinical application in
recent years. A large number of treatment planning studies have evaluated the potential for …

… The aim of this study is to present a modulation index (MI) for volumetric modulated arc
therapy (VMAT) based on the speed and acceleration analysis of modulating-parameters such as …

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