Radiosurgery treatment planning using conformal arc informed volumetric modulated arc therapy

Medical Dosimetry, 2021
Linac based radiosurgery to multiple metastases is commonly planned with volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) as it effectively achieves high conformality to complex target arrangements. However, as the number of targets increases, VMAT can struggle to block between targets, which can lead to highly modulated and/or nonconformal multi-leaf ...

Clinical Applications of Volumetric Modulated Arc Therapy

International Journal of Radiation Oncology*Biology*Physics, 2010
To present treatment planning case studies for several treatment sites for which volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) could have a positive impact; and to share an initial clinical experience with VMAT for stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT).Four case studies are presented to show the potential benefit of VMAT compared with conformal and intensity-

Commissioning of Volumetric Modulated Arc Therapy (VMAT)

International Journal of Radiation Oncology*Biology*Physics, 2009
Volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) involves the simultaneous use of dynamic multileaf collimator (DMLC) techniques and gantry arcing; appropriate quality assurance is therefore required. This article describes the development and implementation of procedures for commissioning VMAT on a commercial linear accelerator (Elekta PreciseBeam VMAT with ...

Modulation indices for volumetric modulated arc therapy

Physics in Medicine and Biology, 2014
The aim of this study is to present a modulation index (MI) for volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) based on the speed and acceleration analysis of modulating-parameters such as multi-leaf collimator (MLC) movements, gantry rotation and dose-rate, comprehensively.

MO-A-211-01: Volumetric Modulated Arc Therapy

Medical Physics, 2012
Volumetric Modulated Arc Therapy (VMAT) is a rotational approach to the delivery of intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) that can be delivered on a conventional linear accelerator. VMAT combines the dosimetric advantages of rotational delivery with the dose painting capabilities of IMRT.
