What is it about?
We elucidate the importance of the normalization effect reduction in the Gamma Knife dose planning. The method of dose planning was introduced in detail. Two case examples of a large acoustic tumor and a large AVM were illustrated.

Why is it important?
Normalization effect reduction during dose planning can provide an effective radiosurgical treatment to the target but minimize radiation-induced complications.
Perspectives
Improved techniques of dose planning in Gamma Knife radiosurgery can improve treatment results of brain targets with large volumes.
