Impact of delivery characteristics on dose delivery accuracy of volumetric modulated arc therapy for different treatment sites

This study aimed to investigate the impact of delivery characteristics on the dose delivery accuracy of volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) for different treatment sites. The pretreatment quality assurance (QA) results of 344 VMAT patients diagnosed with gynecological (GYN), head and neck (H&N), rectal or prostate cancer were randomly chosen in this study. Ten metrics reflecting VMAT delivery characteristics were extracted from the QA...
