In this study, personalized selection of the unequal sub-arc collimator angle ensured the prescribed dose to the PTV, CI, and HI, while significantly reducing the GI, MU, and the dose to normal brain tissue in the VMAT plan for multi-target brain metastases in the cohort of cases with 2-4 target volumes. Particularly as the number of targets increase, the advantages of this method become more pronounced.
