Robotic radiosurgery versus micro-multileaf collimator: a dosimetric comparison for large or critically located arteriovenous malformations
BACKGROUND Stereotactic irradiation of large or critically located arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) is a special challenge for clinicians and radiation physicists. To date, no comprehensive comparison of two linac-based radiosurgery systems used for hypofractionated radiotherapy of large AVMs was published. The aim of the study was to compare dose distributions between CyberKnife (CK) system ...
متن کاملIMRT clinical implementation: Prostate and pelvic node irradiation using Helios and a 120‐leaf multileaf collimator
Dynamic intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) to treat prostate and pelvic nodes using the Varian 120-leaf Millennium multileaf collimator (MLC) has been implemented in our clinic. This paper describes the procedures that have been undertaken to achieve this, including some of the commissioning aspects of Helios, verification of the dynamic dose delivery, and quality assurance (QA) of th...
متن کاملMultileaf collimator shape matrix decomposition
An important method in cancer treatment is the use of high energetic radiation. In order to kill tumor cells the patient is exposed to radiation that is delivered by a linear accelerator whose beam head can be rotated about the treatment couch. Inevitably the healthy tissue surrounding the tumor is also exposed to some radiation. So the problem arises to arrange the treatment in a way such that...
متن کاملTransoral robotic-assisted thyroidectomy with central neck dissection: preclinical cadaver feasibility study and proposed surgical technique
UNLABELLED Recently, a transoral robotic-assisted technique to access the thyroid gland has been introduced. Despite the advantages this approach may have over other minimally invasive and robotic-assisted techniques, we found that the placement of the camera through the floor of mouth led to restricted freedom of movement. We describe our modification to this technique to overcome this problem...
متن کاملRe-irradiation with hypo-fractionated stereotactic robotic radiotherapy for salvage in adult patients with brainstem glioma
PURPOSE Brainstem glioma (BSG) is often treated with definitive irradiation. However, subsequent progression and death occur as a rule rather than the exception, after varying periods of control. The outlook of patients with post-irradiation progression is dismal, and most of these patients are treated with supportive care alone. Despite the obvious risks with an area as critical as the brainst...
