Application of piecewise VMAT technique to whole-brain radiotherapy with simultaneous integrated boost for multiple metastases

Abstract Purpose This study implemented a piecewise volumetric modulated arc therapy (P-VMAT) for realizing whole-brain radiation therapy (WBRT) with simultaneous integrated boost (SIB) for multiple brain metastases (> 40 metastases) with a conventional C-arm linear accelerator. Materials and met...
