Radiation Therapy Using VMAT
Volumetric modulated arc therapy or VMAT is a type of intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT)where the gantry--a device for rotating the radiation delivery apparatus around the patient during radiation therapy—can be rotated 360 degrees all around the patient. The speed of the rotation, the amount of radiation delivered and the movement of the radiation shielding can be controlled, reducing the exposure of normal tissue around the tumor and the duration of the radiation treatment, therefore increasing the precision and effectiveness of the radiation therapy.
