Stereotactic Radiosurgery/Radiotherapy: A Historical Review
"Stereotactic" is an exact radiotherapy treatment modality which implements invasive and non-invasive facilities for improving precise dose delivery. Stereotactic refers to three-dimensional localization of a specific point in space by a unique set of coordinates that relate to a fixed external reference frame. An accurate delivery of radiation is attainable using these techniques with high pre...
متن کاملExtracranial Doses during Stereotactic Radiosurgery and Fractionated Stereotactic Radiotherapy Measured with Thermoluminescent Dosimeter in vivo
INTRODUCTION Stereotactic radiotherapy has been majorly applied to the intracranial targets as primary or metastatic brain tumors, benign tumors, vascular malformations as arteriovenous malformations(AVM) or angiographically occult vascular malformations(AoVM), and functional neurologic diseases as neuralgias since 1951, when Dr. Leksell, a Swedish neurosurgeon, used radiation making intentiona...
متن کاملVerification of the PAGAT polymer gel dosimeter by photon beams using magnetic resonance imaging
Background: In this work investigation of the normoxic PAGAT polymer gel dosimeter such as sensitivity, the R2-dose response with post time and the percentage depth dose (PDD) of PAGAT polymer gel dosimeter have been undertaken. Materials and Methods: Using MRI, the formulation to give the maximum change in the transverse relaxation rate R2 was determined to be 4.5% N,N'-methylenbis- ...
متن کاملStereotactic radiosurgery as a primary treatment modality for pineal parenchymal tumors
Background: Pineal parenchymal tumor (PPT) is extremely rare and histologically heterogeneous, and the optimal treatment strategy is controversial. This study examined clinical outcomes of patients with PPT treated with cyberknife radiosurgery (CKRS) as a primary treatment modality after tumor biopsy. Materials and Methods: Between 2009 and 2018, there were six patients diagnosed with PPT who w...
متن کاملTetrazolium salt monomers for gel dosimetry I: Principles
Tetrazolium salts (TS) have been previously used for radiochromic dosimetry in solutions, films and three dimensional (3D) gelatine-based gels. However, widespread application for 3D dosimetry has not been achieved due to the required high concentrations and associated high costs of the TS dimer used in prior research. Through careful selection of TS monomer, sensitivity-enhancing additives and...
