IMAT 10.UROK Nina TUNÇEL
Treatment Time Intensity modulated arc therapy (IMAT) was introduced by Cedric X. Yu in 1995. Rao et al. (2010) compared VMAT treatments with fixedbeam IMRT and helical tomotherapy treatments. VMAT treatment times varied from 2.1 to 4.6 minutes, IMRT treatment times varied from 7.9 to 11.1 minutes, and tomotherapy treatment times varied from 4.0 to 7.0 minutes. Other work has shown similar decreases in treatment time (Otto, Milette, andwu 2007; Otto 2008; Verbakel et al. 2009). 10.UROK Nina TUNÇEL
Both decreased treatment time and increased MU efficiency have been achieved while maintaining target coverage and OAR sparing similar to fixedbeam IMRT. In some cases, VMAT has shown better OAR sparing than fixed-beam IMRT (Otto 2008; Palma et al. 2008; Rao et al. 2010). The main disadvantage of VMAT has been an increased optimization time as compared to fixed-beam IMRT (Rao et al. 2010). Developments continued Gordon Mark Mancuso. May 2011 10.UROK Nina TUNÇEL

Conclusions: SIB-VMAT plans can be planned and carried out with high quality and efficiency for rectal cancer, providing similar sparing of organs at risk to SIBIMRT and resulting in the most efficient treatment option. SIB-VMAT is currently our standard approach for radiotherapy of locally advanced rectal cancer. 10.UROK Nina TUNÇEL

In conclusion, not one pair of the dose calculation algorithms we investigated could provide results that were consistent within 5% for all 10 patients for the set of clinically relevant dose-volume indices studied. As the results from both CS algorithms differed significantly, care should be taken when evaluating treatment plans as the choice of dose calculation algorithm may influence clinical results. Full Monte Carlo provides a great benchmarking tool for evaluating the performance of other algorithms for patient dose computations. 2006 American Association of Physicists in Medicine.

Results: For the lung cancer group, differences between the reconstructed mean PTV dose and the values calculated with the TPS were 5.0 ± 4.2% (1SD) and 1.4 ± 1.5% for the CA and SA algorithm, respectively. No large differences in the lung and spinal cord DVH parameters were found. For the IMRT treatments, the average dose differences in the PTV were generally below 3%. The reconstructed mean parotid gland dose was 3.2 ± 1.2% lower, while the maximum spinal cord dose was on average 3.1 ± 1.9% higher. Conclusions: EPID dosimetry combined with 3D dose reconstruction is a useful procedure for patient-specific QA of complex treatments. DVH parameters can be used to interpret the dose distribution delivered to the patient in the same way as during standard treatment plan evaluation. 10.UROK Nina TUNÇEL
