  The Novalis Tx Linear Accelerator is among the machines dedicated to radiosurgery that allow stereotactic radiotherapy based on Dynamic Conformal Arc Therapy (DCAT) or Volumetric Modulated Arc Treatment (VMAT), which are the conventional methods for treating brain metastases. Nevertheless, VMAT may reduce early or late complication probability by providing highly conformal dose distributions, increasing target volume coverage, and sparing normal tissues. A further enhancement of the conformation and dose gradient may be one of the possible benefits of the addition of non-coplanar arcs. The purpose of this article is to compare and analyse VMAT, DCAT, and VMAT with Non-Coplanar Arcs (NcVMAT). DCAT, CoVMAT, and NcVMAT modalities were created for 15 patients. Target conformal dose, target coverage, and normal brain tissue dose were evaluated among the three modalities. The NcVMAT modalit.. Read More»
