The Multiple Brain Metastases Protocol is primarily used for delivering a single fraction of 20 Gy to treat both single and multiple brain metastases, as well as arteriovenous malformations (AVM). The "80%" in the protocol’s name refers to a historically based concept rather than a current practical application, representing a preference for a heterogeneous dose distribution. There is no strict constraint on the maximum dose, as the focus is on achieving optimal coverage. The protocol aims to deliver 20 Gy to at least 99.7% of the target volume, while adhering to all dose constraints for critical organs. If more than 5 lesions are treated in a single isocenter, the dose grid resolution and the Monte Carlo spatial resolution are adjusted to 2 mm to accelerate the calculation process.
