Volumetric modulated arc therapy and conventional intensity-modulated radiotherapy for simultaneous maximal intraprostatic boost: a planning comparison study.

AIMS: Volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) is a novel extension of intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) where an optimised three-dimensional dose distribution may be delivered in a single gantry rotation.
