  Objective: Our work aims to verify the Mono-Isocentric technique-based Volumetric Modulated Arc Therapy (VMAT) plan for carcinoma breast and regional nodes employing the new 2D arrays MatriXX Resolution from IBA dosimetry systems, Schwarzenbruck, Germany loaded with the combined field feature. Materials and Methods: This study included 12 Mono Iso-centric VMAT plans for breast cancer with supraclavicular and axillary nodes. The radiotherapy planning was performed by the Monaco TPS (5.51 Elekta Limited, Crawley, UK) following the departmental planning protocols employing 6 MV photons using the XVMC algorithm for Dose calculation. The plans were optimized using an arc geometry with 25 increments in gantry angle spacing between control points with a 3 mm resolution dose grid size and 1% per calculation dose to medium, minimum segment width 0.5 cm and high fluence smoothing.
