Intensity-modulated arc therapy (IMAT) was proposed by Yu (1995 Phys. Med. Biol. 40 1435–
49) as an alternative to tomotherapy. Over more than a decade, much progress has been …

In this work a novel plan optimization platform is presented where treatment is delivered
efficiently and accurately in a single dynamically modulated arc. Improvements in patient …

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: The Varian RapidArc is a system for intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT)
treatment planning and delivery system. RapidArc incorporates capabilities such as variable …

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

An efficient method for volumetric intensity modulated arc therapy (VMAT) planning was
developed, where a single arc (360° or less) is delivered under continuous variation of …

Intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) is an advanced form of external beam radiation
therapy. IMRT offers an additional dimension of freedom as compared with field shaping in …

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 …

For routine pretreatment verification of innovative treatment techniques such as (intensity
modulated) dynamic arc therapy and helical TomoTherapy, an on‐line and reliable method …

The objective of this work is to assess the suitability and performance of a new dosimeter
system with a novel geometry for the quality assurance (QA) of volumetric modulated arc …
