Implementation of respiratory-gated VMAT on a Versa HD linear accelerator
The accurate delivery of respiratory-gated volumetric modulated arc therapy(VMAT) treatment plans presents a challenge since the gantry rotation and collimator leaves must be repeatedly stopped and set into motion during each breathing cycle. In this study, we present the commissioning process for an Anzai gating system (AZ-733VI) on an Elekta Versa HD linear accelerator and make recommendations for successful clinical implementation.
