| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Flattening filter free（FFF）beam technology is capable of delivering higher dose rates for volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) based stereotactic body radiotherapy（SBRT）. The purpose of this study was to implement VMAT- SBRT with FFF. The present technique was feasible for comforming treatment volume to tumor shapes and reducing delivery time.
