Conclusions
• VMAT just another flavour but faster because of continuous irradiation but not better (more gantry angles but unmodulated fluence per angle )
• fan beam rotational IMRT (Tomo) offers independent bixel optimisation and therefore more dose shaping functionality
• in both cases fluence enters the patient from all (gantry) angles sometimes requiring different optimisation strategies
