Overcoming problems caused by offset distance of multiple targets in single-isocenter volumetric modulated arc therapy planning for stereotactic radiosurgery

Purpose: The purpose of the study is to investigate the impact of large target offset distances on the dose distribution and gamma passing rate (GPR) in single-isocenter multiple-target stereotactic radiosurgery (SIMT SRS) using volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) with a flattening filter-free (...
