VMAT is a new radiotherapy method first performed in the UK. This type of radiotherapy is also known as RapidArc, both of these names being specific to the equipment manufacturers, however the technique is the same.
Using three-dimensional volume imaging, treatment can be designed and delivered to maximise the radiation dose the tumour receives and minimise exposure of the surrounding healthy tissue. The angle of the beam, the dose rate and the leaf speed are all independently controlled, making this a very accurate form of treatment. Arc therapy treatments also take much less time to deliver than other radiotherapy techniques.
