Abstract

Intensity modulated arc therapy (IMAT) is a rotational approach to IMRT delivery that can serve as an alternative to tomotherapy. The key features of IMAT include: (1) it can be delivered on a conventional linear accelerator with an integrated MLC; and (2) IMAT plans can include noncoplanar arcs. A lack of robust inverse planning tools has served as a primary obstacle to the routine clinical implementation of IMAT. In this work, we have developed a new approach to IMAT treatment planning called arc sequencing.
