Feasibility of volumetric‐modulated arc therapy gating for cardiac radioablation using real‐time ECG signal acquisition and a dynamic phantom
A 6 MV-FFF TrueBeam is stable for performing gating in STAR under high-frequency gate windows within typical cardiac cycles. Agreement between measured dose distributions for a VMAT plan in static and ECG-synchronized deliveries and between static and target-position gated modes shows that the proposed methodology is feasible and can be implemented on a TrueBeam platform.
