iCONE-SRS: Development of inverse treatment planning for cone-based stereotactic radiosurgery.

CONCLUSIONS: A simple inverse TPS for cone-based SRS was developed. Plan quality was found to be similar to manually generated plans; however, degradation was observed in some cases highlighting the need for continued oversight and manual adjustment by experienced planners if implemented in the clinic. A factor of five reduction in treatment planning time was estimated.
