Differences among techniques

Treatment machine (tomotherapy ⇒ fan beams

conventional linac ⇒ cone beam)

Delivery parameters (variable dose rate, variable gantry speed, …)

Number of arcs (single arc – multiple arcs)

Optimization concept (algorithm, DAO, …)

... See lecture on comparing rotational techniques See review in Yu PMB 2011 for treatment delivery See review in Unkelbach Med Phys 2015 for plan optimization
