Stereotactic radiosurgery using a linear accelerator.
A basic and clinical study of radiosurgery using the linear accelerator (Linac) system for unremovable deep-seated brain tumors is reported. A Komai stereotactic ring was used to locate the target coordinates. The patient was laid on the Linac treatment table and held in the head fixation system. Irradiation was given in five positions. The dose profile by film dosimetry and Rando phantom was s...
متن کاملA comparison of robotic arm versus gantry linear accelerator stereotactic body radiation therapy for prostate cancer
Prostate cancer is the most prevalent cancer diagnosed in men in the United States besides skin cancer. Stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT; 6-15 Gy per fraction, up to 45 minutes per fraction, delivered in five fractions or less, over the course of approximately 2 weeks) is emerging as a popular treatment option for prostate cancer. The American Society for Radiation Oncology now recogni...
متن کاملLinear Accelerator Based Stereotactic Ablative Radiation of Orbital Malignancies
Orbit has a complex anatomy with multiple structures embedded in it. Primary malignant tumors of the orbit are rare. Orbital neoplasms are usually multifaceted and require an interdisciplinary approach. They occur in adults over the age of 60 years. But benign orbital conditions can occur at young age [1]. After confirming the diagnosis of orbital tumors; various treatment methods performed are...
متن کاملLinear accelerator stereotactic radiosurgery for trigeminal neuralgia.
BACKGROUND Stereotactic radiosurgery is accepted as an alternative for patients with refractory trigeminal neuralgia, but existing evidence is fundamentally based on the Gamma Knife, which is a specific device for intracranial neurosurgery, available in few facilities. Over the last decade it has been shown that the use of linear accelerators can achieve similar diagnostic accuracy and equivale...
متن کاملLinear accelerator stereotactic radiosurgery for vestibular schwannomas: a UK series.
AIMS To evaluate non-auditory toxicity and local control after linear accelerator stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) for the treatment of vestibular schwannomas. MATERIALS AND METHODS The institutional policy was to use SRS for radiologically progressing vestibular schwannomas. Case notes and plans were retrospectively reviewed for all patients undergoing SRS for vestibular schwannomas between S...
