Impact of MLC error on dose distribution in SRS treatment of single-isocenter multiple brain metastases: Comparison between DCAT and VMAT techniques

Although the impact of MLC errors on the target coverage and the normal brain tissue is comparable for both techniques, the internal dose of the targets generated by the DCAT technique is robust to the MLC errors.
