Evaluating Multi-Target Beam Setup Methods for LINAC-Based Stereotactic Treatment of Multiple Brain Metastases with Individual Dose Prescriptions

MTBS is an important tool to increase the quality of non-coplanar LINAC-based stereotactic treatment plans for multiple brain metastases with individual dose prescriptions. MTBS can be automated to save planners a significant amount of time. The MTBS algorithm should be restricted in terms of the number of beams it can generate, to limit treatment times.

Abstract

MTBS is an important tool to increase the quality of non-coplanar LINAC-based stereotactic treatment plans for multiple brain metastases with individual dose prescriptions. MTBS can be automated to save planners a significant amount of time. The MTBS algorithm should be restricted in terms of the number of beams it can generate, to limit treatment times.
