Title: Rapid Arc Prostate Cancer Treatment Author: Cynthia Turner Description: RapidArc is a volumetric arc therapy that delivers a precisely sculpted 3D dose distribution with a single 360-degree rotation of the linear accelerator gantry. It is made possible by a treatment planning algorithm that simultaneously changes three parameters during treatment: rotation speed of the gantry, shape of the treatment aperture using the movement of multileaf collimator leaves and delivery dose rate.
