While similar systems have been compared against the fixed\u2010source Leksell Gamma Knife (GK) system using stylized phantoms, dosimetric plan quality with realistic anatomy has yet to be characterized for this or any other rotating system versus GK. This study aims to benchmark AK dosimetric performance against GK by retrospectively replanning previously\u2010treated GK patients at our institution.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>Thirteen patients, previously treated on a GK Icon, were re\u2010planned on the AK treatment planning system using the same prescription doses and isodoses as the original GK plans. The cohort includes patients treated for brain metastases, schwannomas, pituitary adenomas, trigeminal neuralgias, and arteriovenous malformations. Plans are evaluated with target coverage metrics (D<jats:sub>min<\/jats:sub>, D<jats:sub>mean<\/jats:sub>, D<jats:sub>95%<\/jats:sub>, V<jats:sub>150%<\/jats:sub>) and dose conformality indices: Radiation Therapy Oncology Group conformity index (CI), selectivity, Paddick CI (PCI), gradient index (GI).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>AK plans use fewer shots and larger collimation compared to GK plans, resulting in statistically significant reductions in treatment time (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u00a0=\u00a00.047) by as much as 88.4 minutes while maintaining comparable target V<jats:sub>100%<\/jats:sub>. For most metastatic cases, GK produces higher D<jats:sub>min<\/jats:sub> (16.0\u201325.9 vs. 12.5\u201324.3\u00a0Gy, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u00a0=\u00a00.008) while AK produces higher V<jats:sub>150%<\/jats:sub> (0.03\u201314.92 vs. 0.02\u201311.59 cc, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u00a0=\u00a00.028). For non\u2010metastatic cases, GK provides superior CI (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u00a0=\u00a00.025) and GI (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u00a0=\u00a00.044).
