Planning for mARC treatments with the Eclipse treatment planning system [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics, 2015
While modulated arc (mARC) capabilities have been available on Siemens linear accelerators for almost two years now, there was, until recently, only one treatment planning system capable of planning these treatments. The Eclipse treatment planning system now offers a module that can plan for mARC treatments.
