Partitioning of multiple brain metastases improves dose gradients in single‐isocenter radiosurgery
The dose gradient in single-isocenter VMAT plans can be substantially improved by treating a smaller subset of metastases at a time. This requires more MUs and arcs, implying a trade-off between delivery time and plan quality, which can be explored using the algorithm proposed in this paper.
