Patient-Specific Fetal Dose Determination for Multi-Target Gamma Knife Radiosurgery: Computational Model and Case Report
A 42-year-old woman at 29 weeks gestation via in vitro fertilization who presented with eight metastatic brain lesions received Gamma Knife stereotactic radiosurgery (GKSRS) at our institution. In this study, we report our clinical experience and a general procedure of determining the fetal dose from patient-specific treatment plans and we describe quality assurance measurements to guide the sa...
متن کاملGamma Knife Radiosurgery for Acromegaly
Acromegaly is debilitating disease occasionally refractory to surgical and medical treatment. Stereotactic radiosurgery, and in particular Gamma Knife surgery (GKS), has proven to be an effective noninvasive adjunct to traditional treatments, leading to disease remission in a substantial proportion of patients. Such remission holds the promise of eliminating the need for expensive medications, ...
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 کاملLow-dose gamma knife radiosurgery for cavernous sinus hemangioma: report of 3 cases and literature review.
Optimal management of cavernous sinus hemangiomas remains unclear. Total microsurgical removal of these neoplasms may be extremely difficult due to their rich vascularization. Three cases of cavernous sinus hemangioma treated with low-dose Gamma Knife radiosurgery are presented. Marginal dose varied from 10 to 13 Gy. Treatment planning and radiation dosimetry were done with a goal of conformal ...
متن کاملMulti-Institutional Outcome Analysis of Gamma Knife Radiosurgery for Tremor
Tremor is the most common movement disorder, with more than five million Americans affected. Tremor reduces overall quality of life, most notably by impairing employment, daily tasks, and taking a psychological toll. Unfortunately, many patients do not respond to medical therapy. Deep-brain stimulation (DBS) and radiofrequency thalamotomy (RFT) are invasive procedures that ablate the ventralis ...
