Recent advances in field-shaping technology and linac multileaf collimator (MLC) integration have resulted in new approaches to performing stereotactic radiosurgery. We present a modeling study comparing the absolute dose distributions from three radiosurgery delivery techniques: a conventional approach utilizing noncoplanar circular arcs, a static field conformal approach, and a dynamic arc field-shaping approach. In the latter, the MLC leaves more in a continuous fashion, conforming to the beam's-eye-view projection of the target at every increment along the path of an arc.
