Dosimetric analysis of orthogonal collimator configuration in volumetric modulated arc therapy planning: a comparative study.
Incorporating orthogonal collimator angles (0˚ and 90˚) in dual-arc VMAT enhances dose conformity and spares OARs without compromising target coverage or delivery accuracy. This approach is clinically applicable with minimal workflow changes.
