2. Advancement in radiotherapy
ïRadiotherapy has advanced with delivery
technique in the recent past
ïThis attribute to Volumetric Modulated arc
therapy.
ïWhat is ARC therapy : A Brief History
ï Although arc therapy can be traced back
to the dawn of the 20th century (Johns et
al 1953), arcs involving dynamic field
shaping using a multileaf collimator were
first described by Takahashi (1965).

therapy with typical rotation distributions J. Can. Assoc. Radiol. 4

3. Dynamic Conformal ARC Takahashi (1965)âŠâŠâŠ..
ïTakahashi described a method of rotational therapy, which we
now refer to as conformal arc therapy, where the beam
aperture shaped by a multiple leaf collimator (MLC) dynamically
varies to match the beamâs-eye-view (BEV) of the target.
Theoretical development
ïIn 1982, Brahme et al (1982) solved
an integral equation for a hypothetical
target wrapped around a critical
structure to be treated with arc
therapy.
4. Development of ARC therapy
ïThese initial developments on arc therapy were
accompanied and followed by the development and wide
adoption of three-dimensional conformal radiation therapy
(3DCRT) in the 1980s
ïIn 1995 Yu C X devolved the technique of Intensity
modulated arc therapy technique (IMAT) : Did not get
popular as many arc is required to generate a SnS or DMLC
like dose distribution.
ïIn 2008 Otto K developed the Single arc technique Which
reduces the delivery time Significantly: Widely accepted as
Volumetric modulated arc therapy.
5. Commercial Use and Functionality
ïVarian has adapted the Technique developed by Otto K and
commercially termed it as Rapid ARC
ïImmediately after commercial release of Rapid ARC Elekta
lunches its Rotational ARC solution in the name of VMAT.
Basic Job is same only technique is different
: Similarly Basic function between IMRT and
VMAT is same : Radiation delivery ; with
difference in technique
6. Comparison : VMAT over IMRT or 3DCRT
VMAT: very conformal distribution with
very short time delivery
IMRT : VMAT comparable dose distribution with
very long delivery time
3DCRT: Less conformal dose distribution with
shorter treatment delivery time :
Disclaimer: Not MLC shaped Field talking about true 3DCRT : A head neck true
3DCRT contains not less than 30 fields
7. Head Neck: Step n Shoot IMRT , Dynamic IMRT,

Chest Wall, Right Breast
Left chest Wall : Organ at risk: Heart ,
Left Lung . Acceptable heart dose : As
low as reasonably achievable (2 Gy).
Few prospective studies have
addressed potential synergistic
effects of RT and cardiac toxic
chemotherapy among breast cancer
patients. Achievable tolerance 1.5
Gy mean dose
18. Most Important : Contouring and beam
arrangement
ïContouring Right contouring
in RED
Wrong contouring
in GREEN
19. Most Important factor is
contouring: A wrong
contouring will lead to a
disasters beam
arrangement: hence a
more disasters dose
distribution.
20. Good contouring and beam arrangement
A good
contouring
require only
limited gantry
rotational ARC.
Required gantry
angle do not
exceed 30 degree
for largest breast
to thinnest chest
wall.
22. Now what : use a full arc: Excellent distribution
23. Comparison: partial arc on right contour, partial
arc on wrong contour, full arc on wrong contour
Partial ARC and Good Contouring
Full ARC and wrong Contouring Partial ARC and wrong Contouring
25. Choice of beam angle
Classical Wedge field
half beam 3DCRT beam
arrangement.
VMAT beam Angle:
Reciprocal projection at
the Midline where 3DCRT
beam intersect.
27. Brain stereotaxy : 3DCRT : Required lots of
expertise and significant amount of time.
3dcrtVMAT
28. VMAT gives a better conformity better OAR sparing, Higher
MU, Similar treatment time, and sharper dose fall off. More
Important : Very less physics time.
29. Myth : VMAT will give more spillage/integral dose
Dose fall off :1-11 3DCRT and 12-30 VMAT

(A sudden call from console â today
we are starting set two beams and set
