introduction intensity modulated radiation therapy (imrt) has made a significant progress in radiation therapy centers in recent years. in this method, each radiation beam is divided into many subfields that create a field with a modulated intensity. considering the complexity of this method, the quality control for imrt is a topic of interest for researchers. this article is about the various ...

introduction intensity-modulated radiotherapy (imrt) is becoming an increasingly routine treatment method. imrt can be delivered by use of conventional multileaf collimators (mlcs) and/or physical compensators. one of the most important factors in selecting an appropriate imrt technique is integral dose. integral dose is equal to the mean energy deposited in the total irradiated volume of the p...

60-year-old woman was treated for a brain metastasis. the patient received intensity-modulated radiation therapy (sib-imrt) dose of 30 gy for the whole brain and 40 gy delivered simultaneously to individual brain metastases in 10 fractions. the present report investigated the influence of applied novel prepared treatment plan, among others the fractionation protocol on the electroencephalogram ...

Arc-modulated radiation therapy (AMRT) is a novel rotational intensitymodulated radiation therapy (IMRT) technique developed for a clinical linear accelerator that aims to deliver highly conformal radiation treatment using just one arc of gantry rotation. Compared to fixed-gantry IMRT and the multiplearc intensity-modulated arc therapy (IMAT) techniques, AMRT promises the same treatment quality...
