Clinical evaluation of the accuracy of an invasive frame designed for stereotactic intracranial radiosurgery treatment with helical tomotherapy.
AIMS AND BACKGROUND The study focused on the evaluation of the accuracy of intracranial stereotactic radiosurgery treatments delivered with helical tomotherapy by means of the InterFix™ Radiosurgery kit. METHODS AND STUDY DESIGN Twenty-two patients received stereotactic radiosurgery treatments with single fraction dose ranging from 13 to 20 Gy depending on diagnosis. Megavoltage computed tomo...
متن کاملDosimetric comparison of Helical Tomotherapy and Gamma Knife Stereotactic Radiosurgery for single brain metastasis
BACKGROUND Helical Tomotherapy (HT) integrates linear accelerator and computerized tomography (CT) technology to deliver IMRT. Targets are localized (i.e. outlined as gross tumor volume [GTV] and planning target volume [PTV]) on the planning kVCT study while daily MVCT is used for correction of patient's set-up and assessment of inter-fraction anatomy changes. Based on dosimetric comparisons, t...
متن کاملTomotherapy Radiosurgery for Arteriovenous Malformations — Current Possibilities and Future Options with Helical Tomotherapy Dynamic Jaws?
This planning study was performed to compare stereotactic linac based radiosurgery of Arteriovenous Malformations (AVM) with current Helical Tomotherapy (HT) and future HT techniques. For 10 patients with AVM, dose distributions and treatment times of "regular" HT delivery (Reg 2.5/1/0.6 cm field width), Running-Start-Stop Treatment (RSS 5/2.5 cm), Axial Mode (Axial 5 cm) and Dynamic Jaw/Dynami...
متن کاملStereotactic radiosurgery as a primary treatment modality for pineal parenchymal tumors
Background: Pineal parenchymal tumor (PPT) is extremely rare and histologically heterogeneous, and the optimal treatment strategy is controversial. This study examined clinical outcomes of patients with PPT treated with cyberknife radiosurgery (CKRS) as a primary treatment modality after tumor biopsy. Materials and Methods: Between 2009 and 2018, there were six patients diagnosed with PPT who w...
متن کاملTreatment planning of epithelial ovarian cancers using helical tomotherapy
Whole Abdomen Radiotherapy (WAR) for epithelial ovarian cancer though effective has been used sparingly due to inadequate target coverage and poor sparing of Organ At Risk (OAR) leading to significantly higher toxicities. Newer radiation techniques have shown potential for significant improvement in the therapeutic ratio. The purpose of this study was to evaluate Helical Tomotherapy(HT) for WAR...
