Description
Volumetric Modulated Arc Therapy (VMAT) delivery technique has proven its capability in sparing critical and normal tissues when administering large volume target plans. In general practice of VMAT treatment technique, patient plan specific Quality Assurance (QA) has been done using stationary 2D detectors with or without phantoms. Availability of limited QA equipment and the equipment's own limitations demand the end user to ensure and verify the accuracy in delivering the complex highly conformal VMAT plans
