Optimization of multiple-isocenter treatment planning for linac-based stereotactic radiosurgery.
OBJECTIVE Computer-assisted treatment planning for linac-based radiosurgery is still an open research problem, especially for multiple-isocenter procedures, primarily due to its high complexity and computational requirements. This paper focuses on the optimization of multiple-isocenter treatment planning for linac systems, and addresses several important issues associated with multiple isocente...
متن کاملLINAC‐based stereotactic radiosurgery for treatment of trigeminal neuralgia
Trigeminal neuralgia (TN) is a disabling pain condition that has classically been treated using either surgical or medical techniques. Several researchers have shown that stereotactically delivered radiation can be an effective tool in the amelioration of this condition. For these studies, the Gamma Knife was used to deliver the radiation treatment. The target location was designated as the pro...
متن کاملOptimization Algorithm for Single-Isocenter VMAT Stereotactic Radiosurgery for Multiple Brain Metastases
Objectives: Developing an optimal Stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) plan for multiple brain metastases can be a labor intensive process. Single-isocenter multi-arc volumetrically modulated arc therapy (VMAT) has been used as an SRS technique, in which a Linear Accelerator (Linac) delivers targeted radiation along multiple arc angles as it rotates around the isocenter. Standardized arc angles with...
متن کاملSingle-Isocenter Multiple-Target Stereotactic Radiosurgery: Risk of Compromised Coverage.
PURPOSE To determine the dosimetric effects of rotational errors on target coverage using volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) for multitarget stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS). METHODS AND MATERIALS This retrospective study included 50 SRS cases, each with 2 intracranial planning target volumes (PTVs). Both PTVs were planned for simultaneous treatment to 21 Gy using a single-isocenter, nonc...
متن کاملDevelopment of A Head Docking Device for Linac-based Stereotactic Radiosurgery System to be Installed on Neptun 10 PC Linac
Introduction: Stereotactic radiosurgery is a technique for the treatment of intracranial lesions with highly collimated x-ray beam. Linac-based radiosurgery is currently performed by two techniques: couch or pedestal mounted. In the first technique, a device is required to affix patient's head to a couch and moreover to translate it accurately. Structure of suc...
