These treatment plans were divided into two groups: before (ASC\u2010OFF group) and after (ASC\u2010ON group) the clinical implementation of ASC. The performance of ASC in terms of plan complexity was evaluated by between group comparisons of the multi\u2010leaf collimator (MLC) modulation complexity score (MCS\n                      <jats:sub>v<\/jats:sub>\n                      ) and jaw tracking complexity score (JTCS), plan quality using dosimetric parameters, and plan deliverability.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      The overall MCS\n                      <jats:sub>v<\/jats:sub>\n                      and JTCS of the ASC\u2010OFF and ASC\u2010ON groups were 0.318 and 0.369 (\n                      <jats:italic>p\u00a0<\/jats:italic>\n                      &lt;\u00a00.001) and 2.85\u00a0cm and 2.98\u00a0cm (\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u00a0=\u00a00.10), respectively. In the ASC\u2010ON group, the complexity of MLC motions was significantly lower and the complexity of jaw motions higher. In addition, most dosimetric parameters were comparable between groups or better in the ASC\u2010ON group. There was no significant difference in the gamma passing rate of 3%\/2\u00a0mm between the two groups, although at tighter criteria, the gamma passing rate was higher in the ASC\u2010ON group.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The use of ASC reduced the complexity of MLC motions without compromising the plan quality.
