A Novel Linear Accelerator Based Stereotactic Radiosurgery System
نویسندگان
چکیده
A novel platform for LINAC-based SRS treatment, the Edge, (Varian Medical Systems, Palo Alto, CA) offers multiple imaging modalities for treatment localization, including an optical surface monitoring system (OSMS) for surface tracking, 2.5 MV portal imaging, triggered monoscopic kV imaging to track intra-fractional motion, 4D CBCT to evaluate tumor motion offline, extended CBCT images by stitching multiple CBCT scans together, and a Calypso/Varian electromagnetic beaconbased tracking system. The new PerfectPitchTM couch supports six degrees-offreedom (6DoF) corrections from multiple imaging modalities used for precise patient setup. The new flat panel imager (DMI) has a greater dynamic range and faster image readout rate to process high dose rate of flatten filter free beams without saturation.

Overall and disease-free survival greater than 12 years in metastatic non-small cell lung cancer after linear accelerator-based stereotactic radiosurgery for solitary brain metastasis.
The best treatment approach for solitary brain metastasis is not well defined and there is no consensus on this issue. It is still being debated whether patients with isolated brain metastasis should undergo surgical resection or stereotactic radiosurgery, and which patients should receive adjuvant whole brain radiotherapy. The median survival in patients with single or multiple metastatic lesi...

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...
متن کاملRadiation necrosis masquerading as late tumor recurrence: 14 years after combined fractionated stereotactic radiosurgery and conventional radiation therapy
Radiation necrosis is a known sequela of delivering high doses of ionizing radiation to the central nervous system and may be confused with tumor recurrence. Although stereotactic radiation has found increasing application in managing central nervous system malignancies, the imaging appearance of benign tissue several years after such treatment has not been frequently documented in the medical ...
