Volumetric Modulated Arc Therapy (VMAT) is a novel technique in radiotherapy, based on Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT), that enables simultaneous variation of gantry speed, collimator angle and dose rate, in order to change the field shape. This study aims to evaluate and compare two d...
