Equations relating the number and volume of targets to the gradient measure, mean brain dose, V12 (BmP), and V10-24 can serve as a baseline for multiple brain metastases SIMT planning. The target volume for 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10 targets that can be treated without exceeding V12 (BmP) is 6, 5, 4.7, 4, 3.7, and 3.4 cc, respectively, for the 21 Gy prescription dose.
