"Multi-institutional investigation into the robustness of intra-cranial" by Lauren May, Nicholas Hardcastle et al.
Background: The use of modulated techniques for intra-cranial stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) results in highly modulated fields with small apertures, which may be susceptible to uncertainties in the delivery device. Purpose: This study aimed to quantify the impact of simulated delivery errors on treatment plan dosimetry and how this is affected by treatment planning system (TPS), plan geometry, delivery technique, and plan complexity. A beam modelling error was also included as context to the dose uncertainties due to treatment delivery errors. Methods: Delivery errors were assessed for multi...
