Dosimetric Comparison of Stereotactic Radiosurgery and Stereotactic Radiotherapy Planning Techniques with Apex 2.5mm and Agility 5mm Multileaf Collimator for Intracranial Cancer
As the apex is an add-on device to the collimator of the LINAC machine, it requires additional time for commissioning and QA before the treatment. Agility, with in built 5mm MLC, does not require extra commissioning. Dosimetrically, the treatment plans achieved with agility were comparable with apex-based plans except for total MUs. If this is kept aside, 5mm MLC agility-based VMAT FFF plans are capable of giving good outcomes for SRS/SRT treatments.
