  ABSTRACT: Each year, 170,000 cancer patients in the United States develop brain metastases. Many of them present with multiple small lesions. Historically, Linac-based stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) was used to treat single solitary brain metastasis with a diameter of less than 3.0 cm, while whole brain radiation therapy (WBRT) was used to treat multiple brain metastases mainly as palliative therapy. Evidence-based practices reveal that WBRT results in poor treatment outcomes, with high local recurrence rates, decreased cognitive function, and even the onset of dementia. Recently, volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) SRS has been tested as an alternative treatment to WBRT. Owing to its inherent complexity and high risk, it is imperative to perform rigorous testing prior to its clinical implementation. In this paper, we present a novel technique for dosimetry validation of VMAT SRS.
