Sub-arc collimator angle optimization based on the conformity index heatmap for VMAT planning of multiple brain metastases SRS treatments

Sub-arc collimator angle optimization based on the conformity index heatmap for VMAT planning of multiple brain metastases SRS treatments

ObjectiveThe aim of this study was to investigate the impact of collimator angle optimization in single-isocenter coplanar volume modulated arc therapy (VMAT) stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) for multiple metastases with respect to dosimetric quality and treatment delivery efficiency. In particular,...
