Decision‐making between DCA and VMAT in Linac‐based SRS for brain lesions: A dosimetric analysis based on tumor size and geometry and introduction of Qasym
This study provides detailed dosimetric information on two commonly applied planning techniques for Linac-based SRS treatment for brain metastases. These findings might support decision making for optimal technique selection upon volumetric features. Q<sub>asym</sub> provides a practical tool for these purposes.
