Swedish oncology firm Elekta of Stockholm reports that it has garnered more than 200 orders for its volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) since 2008.
VMAT uses single or multiple radiation beams to sweep in uninterrupted arcs around a patient, reducing treatment times from the eight to 12 minutes required for standard radiation therapy to as few as two minutes.
