Abstract (english)
Delivering focused radiation doses via linear accelerators is a crucial component of stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) for brain metastases. The Varian Edge linear accelerator provides highly conformal radiation therapy through a high-definition multi-leaf collimator (HD120 MLC) and conical collimator (CC). HD120 MLC adapts to the shape of the target volume using movable tungsten leaves, while CC has a block of conical shape (cones). CC in SRS treatments of small brain metastases is preferred due to its mechanical stability and steeper dose fall-off, potentially sparing organs at risk (OARs) and the brain better than HD120 MLC. This study aims to determine if CC offers significant advantages over HD120 MLC for SRS treatments. For 116 metastatic lesions, CC and HD120 MLC treatment plans were created in Varian Eclipse TPS and compared based on various dose parameters, robustness tests, and QA measurements. The results indicate that CC provides no significant advantages over HD120 MLC, except for slight, clinically insignificant benefits in brain sparing and dose fall-off for the smallest lesions. HD120 MLC outperforms CC in almost every aspect, making it a better choice for irradiating brain metastases with 0.1 cm3 or higher volumes.
