Abstract
These findings suggest that CAO has limited benefit in VMAT SIMT SRS of 2-6 targets when using a low-dose penalty to the healthy brain during plan optimization in Eclipse. As clinical benefits of jaw tracking were found to be minimal and plan deliverability was potentially reduced, a cautious approach would be to exclude jaw tracking in SIMT SRS plans.
