Linear 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 کاملStereotactic 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 کاملProstate stereotactic ablative body radiotherapy using a standard linear accelerator: toxicity, biochemical, and pathological outcomes.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Biological dose escalation through stereotactic ablative radiotherapy (SABR) holds promise of improved patient convenience, system capacity and tumor control with decreased cost and side effects. The objectives are to report the toxicities, biochemical and pathologic outcomes of this prospective study. MATERIALS AND METHODS A phase I/II study was performed where low ris...
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...
متن کاملLinear Accelerator Shielding : Thirty Years Beyond NCRP 49
The purpose of this review is to discuss particular shielding problems related to highenergy machines that are not covered in NCRP report No. 49. These include calculating the dose at the end of a maze due to neutrons and capture rays, consideration of high-energy direct-shielded doors, and laminated primary shielding. The impact of special procedures such as IMRT, TBI, and SRS will also be dis...
