Radiotoxicity in robotic radiosurgery: proposing a new quality index for optimizing the treatment planning of brain metastases
BACKGROUND As irradiated brain volume at 12 Gy (V12) is a predictor for radionecrosis, the purpose of the study was to develop a model for Cyberknife (CK) plans that is able to predict the lowest achievable V12 at a given tumor size and prescription dose (PD), and to suggest a new quality index regarding V12 for optimizing the treatment planning of brain metastases. METHOD In our model V12 wa...
متن کاملEvaluation of a dedicated brain metastases treatment planning optimization for radiosurgery: a new treatment paradigm?
PURPOSE To investigate the feasibility of a novel dedicated treatment planning solution, to automatically target multiple brain metastases with a single isocenter and multiple inversely-optimized dynamic conformal arcs (DCA), and to benchmark it against the well-established multiple isocenter DCA (MIDCA) and volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) approaches. MATERIAL AND METHODS Ten previous...
متن کاملHyperArc VMAT planning for single and multiple brain metastases stereotactic radiosurgery: a new treatment planning approach
PURPOSE The HyperArc VMAT (HA-VMAT) planning approach was newly developed to fulfill the demands of dose delivery for brain metastases stereotactic radiosurgery. We compared the dosimetric parameters of the HA-VMAT plan with those of the conventional VMAT (C-VMAT). MATERIAL AND METHODS For 23 patients (1-4 brain metastases), C-VMAT and HA-VMAT plans with a prescription dose of 20-24 Gy were r...
متن کاملTreatment Planning for Image-Guided Robotic Radiosurgery
Radiosurgery is a non-invasive procedure that uses focused beams of radiation to destroy brain tumors. Treatment planning for ra-diosurgery involves determining a series of beam conngurations that will destroy the tumor without damaging healthy tissue in the brain, particularly critical structures. A new image-guided robotic radiosurgical system has been developed at Stanford University in a jo...
متن کاملRobotic Radiosurgery for Liver Metastases
Purpose: The prevalence of liver metastases is very high for patients whose primary diagnosis are colorectal, pancreas, lung, and breast cancer. Local control of the disease may increase both quality of life and survival. The aim of this study to show feasibility, efficiency, and low morbidity combined with a high local control probability in use of robotic stereotactic body radiation therapy (...
