Abstract
The accuracy of stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) to multiple metastases with a single-isocenter using high definition dynamic radiosurgery (HDRS) was evaluated across institutions. An SRS plan was delivered at six HDRS-capable institutions to an anthropomorphic phantom consisting of point, film, and 3D-gel dosimeters. Direct dose comparison and gamma analysis were used to evaluate the accuracy. Point measurements averaged across institutions were within 1.2±0.5%. The average gamma passing rate in the film was 96.6±2.2% (3%/2 mm). For targets within 4 cm of the isocenter, the 3D dosimetric gel gamma passing rate averaged across institutions was >90% (3%/2 mm). The targeting accuracy of high definition dynamic radiosurgery assessed by geometrical offset of the center of dose distributions across multiple institutions in this study was within 1 mm for targets within 4 cm of isocenter. Across variations in clinical practice, comparable dosimetry and localization is possible with this treatment planning and delivery technique.
