Abstract

AbstractPurpose/objectives(A) To examine the alignment accuracy of CBCT guidance for brain metastases with off centered isocenters, (B) to test dose delivery and targeting accuracy for single isocenter treatments with multiple brain metastases. We report the results of the end‐to‐end test for Truebeam stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS).Materials/methodsAn anthropomorphic CT head phantom was drilled with five MOSFET inserts and two PTW Pinpoint chamber inserts. The phantom was simulated, planned, and delivered. For the purpose of comparing the accuracy of alignment, CBCTs were acquired with the isocenter centered and offset superiorly 8 cm, inferiorly 8 cm, anteriorly 7 cm, posteriorly 7 cm, and right 5 cm. There were six degrees of freedom corrections applied to the plans, as well as intentional rotational and translational errors for dose comparisons. Dose accuracy checks were performed with MOSFET and PTW Pinpoint chamber, and targeting accuracy was assessed with GafChromic films.Result(A) Compared to centered CBCT, off‐centered CBCT scan showed some alignment errors, with a maximum difference of 0.6‐degree pitch and 0.9 mm translation when the phantom was placed 8 cm inferior off center. (B) For the single isocenter plan, measured doses of the five MOSFET were 95%–100% of the planned dose, whereas the multiple isocenter plans were 96%–100%. With intentional setup errors of 1‐degree pitch, doses were 97.1%–100.4% compared to the perfect setup. The same was found for the two pinpoint chamber readings with 1‐degree rotation and 1 mm translation. (C) Targeting accuracy for targets at the isocenter is 0.67 mm, within the machine specification of 0.75 mm. Targeting accuracy for isocenters 6–12 cm away from the target is in the range 0.67–1.18 mm.Conclusion(A) Single isocenter HyperArc treatments for multiple brain metastases are feasible and targeting accuracy is clinically acceptable. (B) The vertex in a cranial scan is very important for proper alignment.
