Abstract
The invention is directed to a radiation therapy method, and in particular, to a method of conducting an intensity modulated arc therapy (IMAT). The invention provides a planning technique that translates traditional static fixed-field IMRT plans into deliverable IMAT plans and allows IMAT to be realized as a routine clinical delivery technique.
