Dosimetric Comparison of treatment plans computed with finite size pencil beam and monte carlo algorithms using the incise & #8482; multileaf collimator-equipped cyberknife & #174; system
Conclusion: In this study, it was found that FSPB overestimates dose to inhomogeneous treatment sites. This indicates, the employment of MC algorithm in CK-MLC-based lung SABR treatment plans is strongly suggested.
