Clinical implementation of volumetric intensity-modulated arc therapy (VMAT) with ERGO++

Volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) has the potential to deliver dose distributions comparable to the established intensity-modulated radiotherapy techniques for a multitude of target paradigms. Prior to implementing VMAT into their clinical routine in December 2008, the authors evaluated the do...

Description
Summary:Volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) has the potential to deliver dose distributions comparable to the established intensity-modulated radiotherapy techniques for a multitude of target paradigms. Prior to implementing VMAT into their clinical routine in December 2008, the authors evaluated the dose calculation/delivery accuracy of 24 sample VMAT plans (prostate and anal cancer target paradigms) with film and ionization dosimetry. After the start of the clinical program, in vivo measurements with a rectal probe were performed.
