Volumetric modulated arc therapy: IMRT in a single gantry arc.
Explore this paper's citation graph
Summary
This work presents a novel aperture-based algorithm for treatment plan optimization where dose is delivered during a single gantry arc of up to 360 deg, similar to tomotherapy but fundamentally different in that the entire dose volume is delivered in a single source rotation.
