Abstract

PURPOSE

Volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) is a widespread technique for the delivery of normo-fractionated radiation therapy (NFRT) and stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT). It is associated with a significant hardware burden requiring dose rate modulation, collimator movement and gantry rotation synchronisation. Patient specific quality assurance (PSQA) guarantees that the linacs can precisely and accurately deliver the planned dose. However, PSQA requires a significant time allocation and class solutions to reduce this
