In this study, we investigated the dosimetric impact of limitations associated with the T&G modeling in stereotactic plans and its relationship with the need for tuning the DLG in the Eclipse TPS. Measurements were carried out using Varian TrueBeam STx systems from two different institutions. Test fields presenting MLC patterns with several MLC gap sizes (meanGap) and different amounts of T&G effect (TGi) were first evaluated. Secondly, dynamic conformal arc (DCA) and volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) deliveries of stereotactic cases were analyzed in terms of meanGap and TGi. Two DLG values were used in the TPS: the measured DLG (DLG<jats:sub>meas</jats:sub>) and an optimal DLG (DLG<jats:sub>opt</jats:sub>). Measured and calculated doses were compared according to dose differences and gamma passing rates (GPR) with strict local gamma criteria of 2%/2 mm. The discrepancies were analyzed for DLG<jats:sub>meas</jats:sub> and DLG<jats:sub>opt</jats:sub>, and their relationships with both TGi and meanGap were investigated. DCA arcs involved significantly lower TGi and larger meanGap than VMAT arcs (<jats:italic>P</jats:italic> < 0.0001). By using DLG<jats:sub>meas</jats:sub> in the TPS, the dose discrepancies increased as TGi increased and meanGap decreased for both test fields and clinical plans.
