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 …

Inter‐and intra‐fraction motion during radiation therapy for breast cancer has been a widely
researched topic. Recently, however, with the emergence of new technologies and …

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 …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: To demonstrate the feasibility of back-projection portal
dosimetry for accurate 3D dosimetric verification of volumetric-modulated arc therapy …

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

PURPOSE: Volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT), the predecessor to Varian's
RapidArc, is a novel extension of intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) wherein the dose …

The delivery of high dose conventional stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) for patients
with stage I lung tumors generally takes 30–45min per fraction. The novel volumetric …

PURPOSE: To study the dosimetric predictors of early clinical toxicity following SBRT in
patients with lung tumors and planning target volumes (PTV) exceeding 80cm3. METHODS …

We investigated the possible treatment and dosimetric advantage of volumetric modulated
arc therapy (VMAT) over step-and-shoot intensity-modulated radiation therapy (step-and …

PURPOSE: The analysis was designed to identify the optimal radiation technique for
patients with malignant glioma. METHODS: A volumetric-modulated radiation treatment …
