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-

Single Arc Volumetric Modulated Arc Therapy of head and neck cancer

Radiotherapy and Oncology, 2010
The quality of Volumetric Modulated Arc Therapy (VMAT) plans is highly dependent on the performance of the optimization algorithm used. Recently new algorithms have become available which are capable of generating VMAT plans for Elekta accelerators. The VMAT algorithm in Pinnacle is named SmartArc and its capability to generate treatment plans for head

Dosimetric comparison of hybrid volumetric-modulated arc therapy, volumetric-modulated arc therapy, and intensity-modulated radiation therapy for left-sided early breast cancer

Medical Dosimetry, 2015
To compare the dosimetric performance of 3 different treatment techniques: hybrid volumetric-modulated arc therapy (hybrid-VMAT), pure-VMAT, and fixed-field intensity-modulated radiation therapy (F-IMRT) for whole-breast irradiation of left-sided early breast cancer.

Helical Volumetric Modulated Arc Therapy for Treatment of Craniospinal Axis

International Journal of Radiation Oncology Biology Physics, 2012
Volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) can be used with multiple isocenters to provide an effective treatment of the craniospinal axis. Additional efficiency can be achieved by simultaneously applying linear couch motion to generate a helical arc trajectory.
