Volumetric Modulated Arc Therapy for Spine Radiosurgery: Superior Treatment Planning and Delivery Compared to Static Beam Intensity Modulated Radiotherapy
PURPOSE Spine stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) delivers an accurate and efficient high radiation dose to vertebral metastases in 1-5 fractions. We aimed to compare volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) to static beam intensity modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) for spine SRS. METHODS AND MATERIALS Ten spine lesions of previously treated SRS patients were planned retrospectively using both IMRT an...
متن کاملA multi-national report on methods for institutional credentialing for spine radiosurgery
BACKGROUND Stereotactic body radiotherapy and radiosurgery are rapidly emerging treatment options for both malignant and benign spine tumors. Proper institutional credentialing by physicians and medical physicists as well as other personnel is important for the safe and effective adoption of spine radiosurgery. This article describes the methods for institutional credentialing for spine radiosu...
متن کاملThe effect of multileaf collimator leaf width on the radiosurgery planning for spine lesion treatment in terms of the modulated techniques and target complexity
PURPOSE We aim to evaluate the effects of multileaf collimator (MLC) leaf width (5 mm vs. 2.5 mm) on the radiosurgery planning for the treatment of spine lesions according to the modulated techniques (intensity-modulated radiotherapy [IMRT] vs. volumetric-modulated arc therapy [VMAT]) and the complexity of the target shape. METHODS For this study, artificial spinal lesions were contoured and ...
متن کاملClinical practice of image-guided spine radiosurgery - results from an international research consortium
BACKGROUND Spinal radiosurgery is a quickly evolving technique in the radiotherapy and neurosurgical communities. However, the methods of spine radiosurgery have not been standardized. This article describes the results of a survey about the methods of spine radiosurgery at five international institutions. METHODS All institutions are members of the Elekta Spine Radiosurgery Research Consorti...
متن کاملSpinal radiosurgery for metastatic disease of the spine.
BACKGROUND Metastatic tumor in the spinal column is common, causing symptomatic spinal cord compression in approximately 25,000 patients annually. Although surgical treatment of spinal metastases has become safer, less invasive, and more efficacious in recent years, there remains a subset of patients for whom other treatment modalities are needed. Stereotactic radiosurgery, which has long been ...
