Abstract
Homogeneity and conformity of HTSRS plans achieved excellent scores, while dose falloff and dose to healthy brain were slightly larger when compared with non-coplanar SRS techniques. Care should be given if treating large (>3â¯cc) or multiple near in-plane lesions in order to reduce dose to healthy brain. Analysis of interrupted treatments suggests splitting HTSRS treatments in two consecutive fractions in order to prevent target miss and overdosage due to patient intrafraction movement.
