Dosimetric comparison of volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) and high-dose-rate brachytherapy (HDR-BT) for superficial skin irradiation with significant curvature in one or more planes

ConclusionIn this small sample, VMAT gives equal coverage with lower OAR and skin surface doses than HDR-BT for both scalp and extremities. VMAT is a  useful technique for treating large, superficial volumes with significant curvature in one or more planes.
