Figure Lengend Snippet: Radar charts of dose/volume levels comparing s-IMRT and IMAT plans summed on the pretreatment CT for a patient with a cT4a pN2 cM0 oropharynx cancer. The areas are formed by connecting the values belonging to one of the two treatment strategies. Abbreviations: s-IMRT = step-and-shoot IMRT; IMAT = intensity modulated arc therapy; GTV T = gross tumor volume of the primary tumor; GTV N = GTV of the metastatic lymph nodes; CTV HR = high risk clinical target volume; PTV HR = high risk planning target volume; CTV EN = elective neck CTV; PTV EN = elective neck PTV; PRV = planning organ-at-risk volume; SS = swallowing structures – includes superior pharyngeal constrictor, middle pharyngeal constrictor, inferior pharyngeal constrictor, upper esophageal sphincter, supraglottic larynx and upper 2 cm of the esophagus; PC = pharyngeal constrictors – includes superior pharyngeal constrictor, middle pharyngeal constrictor and inferior pharyngeal constrictor; D x% = dose received by x% of the volume; V 27Gy = % of the volume that receives at least 27 Gy

Article Snippet: Commercial solutions to perform IMAT are currently available for as well Elekta (Crawley, UK) as Varian (Palo Alto, CA, USA).
