Commissioning of a reference beam model-based Monte Carlo dose calculation algorithm for cranial stereotactic radiosurgery
Validation testing demonstrated good agreement between the reference beam dataset and machine performance for targets with diameters ≥7 mm. The use of a reference beam model may significantly reduce measurement burden while mitigating potential failure modes associated with TPS commissioning.
