The RA demonstrated a better conformity index of 1.14\u00b10.25 than both IMRT 1.21\u00b10.26 and 3DCRT 1.37\u00b10.31. 3DCRT and IMRT had lower Gradient Index values compared to RA, suggesting that they achieved a better dose gradient than RA. The mean treatment time decreased by 26.2% and 10.3% for 3DCRT and RA, respectively, compared to IMRT. In organs at risk, 3DCRT had lower maximum doses than IMRT and RA, but some differences were not statistically significant. However, in the brain stem and brain tissues, RA exhibited lower maximum doses compared to IMRT and 3DCRT. Additionally, RA and IMRT had lower V15Gy, V12Gy, and V9Gy values compared to 3DCRT.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec specific-use=\"heading-level-1\">\n                    <jats:title>CONCLUSION:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>While 3D-CRT delivered lower doses to organs at risk, RA and IMRT provided better conformity and target coverage. RA effectively controlled the maximum dose and irradiated volume of normal brain tissue. Overall, these findings indicate that 3DCRT, RA, and IMRT are suitable for treating brain metastases in SRS\/SRT due to their improved dose conformity and target coverage while minimizing dose to healthy tissues.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.3233\/xst-230275","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,1,23]],"date-time":"2024-01-23T13:45:38Z","timestamp":1706017538000},"page":"765-781","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Approaches for Stereotactic Radiosurgery (SRS)\/Stereotactic Radiotherapy (SRT) in brain metastases using different radiotherapy modalities (Feasibility study)"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"32","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0004-3735-6665","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Zyad A.","family":"Tawfik","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Radiological Sciences Department, Inaya Medical Colleges, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia"},{"name":"Assiut University","place":["Egypt"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Mohamed El-Azab","family":"Farid","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Assiut University","place":["Egypt"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Khaled M.","family":"El Shahat","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Al-Azhar University","place":["Egypt"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ahmed A.","family":"Hussein","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Assiut University","place":["Egypt"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Mostafa","family":"Al Etreby","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Oncology Department, Dr. Soliman Fakeeh Hospital | DSFH, Jeddah, Saudi Arabia"},{"name":"Cairo University Hospital","place":["Egypt"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,1,22]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_1_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S1470-2045(17)30441-2"},{"key":"e_1_3_1_3_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/s13014-016-0710-y"},{"key":"e_1_3_1_4_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.21873\/anticanres.12954"},{"key":"e_1_3_1_5_2","unstructured":"KunshanD.
