Volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) is an advanced technology that delivers thousands of precisely focused radiation beams. VMAT “carves” radiation around a tumor as the treatment machine rotates around the patient, continuously adjusting the radiation dose.

What is VMAT?
What does that mean for me?
The end result is that radiation can be precisely sculpted around the entire tumor while sparing normal healthy tissue and at a faster time, so you spend less time each day on the radiation table. VMAT provides the best of both worlds – speed and accuracy.
