What is VMAT?
Volumetric Modulated Arc Therapy (VMAT) is an advanced form of radiation therapy used to treat cancer. It delivers radiation continuously as the treatment machine rotates around the patient, modulating the beam's shape and intensity to precisely target the tumor while sparing healthy tissue. This allows for shorter treatment times and potentially higher doses of radiation to the tumor compared to traditional techniques.
What other technologies are related to VMAT?
VMAT Competitor Technologies
IMRT
Intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) is a radiation therapy technique used to deliver precise radiation doses to tumors or specific areas within the body. It competes as an alternative radiation delivery technique.
3DCRT
No summary available
3D conformal radiation therapy (3D-CRT) is a radiation therapy technique that uses 3D imaging to target the tumor. It is a more traditional approach and can be considered a competitor as a different radiation treatment.
HDR brachytherapy
High-dose-rate (HDR) brachytherapy is a form of internal radiation therapy. While VMAT is external beam radiation therapy, they serve similar purposes, therefore a competitor.
brachytherapy
Brachytherapy is internal radiation therapy. It serves a similar purpose to VMAT, but is delivered differently.

VMAT Complementary Technologies
SBRT
Stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) is a technique that can be delivered using VMAT. It is complementary as VMAT can be used for SBRT delivery.
DIBH
Deep inspiration breath-hold (DIBH) is a technique used to reduce the volume of the heart that is exposed to radiation during treatment. It is often used with VMAT to further refine the treatment.
IGRT
Image-guided radiation therapy (IGRT) is used to improve the precision of radiation therapy delivery. It is complementary because IGRT can be used with VMAT.
