متن کاملMonte Carlo Evaluation of Gamma Knife Dose Profile in Real Brain Phantom
Introduction The Gamma Knife system is designed solely for non-invasive treatment of brain disorders, and it benefits from stereotactic surgical techniques. Dose calculations required in the system are performed by GammaPlan code; in this code, brain tissue is considered uniform. In the present study, we evaluated the effect of Gamma Knife system on the obtained dose through simulating a real ...
متن کاملGamma knife radiosurgery for multiple brain metastases from lung cancer.
The aim of this study was to compare the effectiveness of gamma knife radiosurgery (GKS) for the treatment of multiple brain metastases from lung cancer with that of whole brain radiation therapy (WBRT). Patients with multiple (2-20) brain metastases were divided into two groups for initial brain tumor management: a GKS group (14 patients) and a WBRT group (19 patients). The patients were strat...
