Volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) is a novel radiation technique, which can achieve
highly conformal dose distributions with improved target volume coverage and sparing of …

Radiation therapy plays an integral role in the management of head and neck cancers
(HNCs). While most HNC patients have historically been treated with photon-based …

Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is a malignant epithelial tumor originating in the
nasopharynx and has a high incidence in Southeast Asia and North Africa. To develop these …

Small‐field dosimetry used in advance treatment technologies poses challenges due to loss
of lateral charged particle equilibrium (LCPE), occlusion of the primary photon source, and …

Purpose: The objective of this work was to develop a quality control (QC) tool to reduce
intensity modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) planning variability and improve treatment plan …

PURPOSE: We performed a comprehensive comparative study of the plan quality between
volumetric-modulated arc therapy (VMAT) and intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) …

Purpose: Helical tomotherapy (HT) and volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) are arc‐
based approaches to IMRT delivery. The objective of this study is to compare VMAT to both …

PURPOSE: To compare step-and-shoot intensity-modulated radiotherapy (ss-IMRT) with
volumetric-modulated arc therapy (VMAT) for complex-shaped target volumes with a …

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