VMAT testing for an Elekta accelerator [PDF]
Journal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics, 2012 Volumetric‐modulated arc therapy (VMAT) has been shown to be able to deliver plans equivalent to intensity‐modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) in a fraction of the treatment time. This improvement is important for patient immobilization/ localization compliance due to comfort and treatment duration, as well as patient throughput.

Transition from 3D conformal to modern modulated craniospinal radiotherapy
South African Journal of Oncology, 2022 Background: Achieving optimal tumour coverage during craniospinal irradiation (CSI) is a challenge. Whilst several critical organs are at risk of radiation-induced toxicity, if target volume structures like the cribriform plate receive less than 95% of ...
