Volumetric modulated arc therapy planning for distal oesophageal malignancies [PDF]

The British Journal of Radiology, 2012
Volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) is a novel form of intensity-modulated radiation therapy that allows the radiation dose to be delivered in a single gantry rotation using conformal or modulated fields. The capability of VMAT to reduce heart and cord dose, while maintaining lung receiving 20 Gy
