Elekta VMAT leapfrogs dynamic IMRT. Sliding Window te

Elekta volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) is a new intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) treatment technique that combines the market's only fully digital linear accelerator, 3D volumetric imaging, and advanced treatment planning expertise. This powerful trio delivers a treatment that improves the sparing of critical structures and healthy tissue—in dramatically shorter treatment times—all without comprising target coverage and patient safety.

Conformance. One or multiple arcs for precise dose control resulting in better avoidance of critical structures.

Speed. Dramatically shorter treatment times than current IMRT techniques.

Ultra-low Dose. Allows daily 3D volumetric imaging and fewer MUs.
