Outcomes of Gamma Knife Radiosurgery in Patients With Parasagittal Meningioma
Background & Aim: The treatment of Parasagittal Meningioma (PSM) is always a challenge, especially when the tumor has already invaded the critical structures like venous sinuses. This study aims at evaluating the outcomes of Gamma Knife Radiosurgery (GKRS) in patients with PSM. Methods and Materials/Patients: In this descriptive retrospective study, we reviewed the medical records of 61 patien...
متن کاملLong term effects of Gamma knife Radiosurgery for treatment of cerebral arteriovenous malformations
Abstract Background: The Gamma Knife Radiosurgery (GKR) is an established management option for Cerebral Ar-teriovenous Malformations (AVMS). Therapeutic benefits of radiosurgery for arteriovenous malformations are complete obliteration of nidus with minimal neurological deficit. Methods: Radiosurgery was performed between February 2003 and April 2010 at Kamraniye day clinic, Teh-ran, Iran, us...
متن کاملFailure modes and effects analysis (FMEA) for Gamma Knife radiosurgery
PURPOSE Gamma Knife radiosurgery is a highly precise and accurate treatment technique for treating brain diseases with low risk of serious error that nevertheless could potentially be reduced. We applied the AAPM Task Group 100 recommended failure modes and effects analysis (FMEA) tool to develop a risk-based quality management program for Gamma Knife radiosurgery. METHODS A team consisting o...
متن کاملInter‐ and intrafractional dose uncertainty in hypofractionated Gamma Knife radiosurgery
The purpose of this study is to evaluate inter- and intrafractional dose variations resulting from head position deviations for patients treated with the Extend relocatable frame system utilized in hypofractionated Gamma Knife radiosurgery (GKRS). While previous reports characterized the residual setup and intrafraction uncertainties of the system, the dosimetric consequences have not been inve...
متن کاملImage-guided Radiosurgery Using the Gamma Knife
Image guided brain surgery became a reality in the mid-1970s after the introduction of the fi rst methods to obtain axial imaging using computed tomography (CT) [9]. The recognition of cranial disease much earlier in its clinical course prompted the need for concomitant minimally invasive technologies to both diagnose and to treat the newly recognized brain tumors and vascular malformations. Su...
