Stereotactic cases, why we prescribe to the isodose line we do

Good topic on the Medphys list server.
Scott Dube posted this link to a good paper on the topic and gave the following commentary:

What is the rationale behind cranial SRS prescriptions lines laying
> somewhere around 80-90%??

The dose falloff outside the target is steeper when you prescribe to 80%.
This paper even recommends 70%.
