Abstract
Two-arc VMAT resulted in shorter beam-on times and more homogenous dose distributions than 7-field, step-and-shoot IMRT for prostate cancer. With decreased beam-on time, the intrafraction motion during irradiation is reduced, thus improving confidence that the delivered dose distribution agrees with the plan.
