Intensity modulated radiation therapy versus volumetric intensity modulated arc therapy [PDF]

Journal of Medical Radiation Sciences, 2013
The advanced developments in external beam radiation therapy (EBRT) over the past few decades have improved dose conformity to the target while minimizing dose to the surrounding organs at risk (OAR). Intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) and volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) are two commonly used EBRT techniques to treat cancer.
