Development of a prototype stereotactic collimation assembly for Neptun 10 PC linac
Background: A set of hardware stereotactic radiosurgery is designed and constructed. The scope of this article is to describe how we have designed and developed stereotactic collimation assembly for a 9 MV Neptun 10 PC linac. Materials and methods: One collimator holder and six collimators were made, with their radiation field diameter between 12.5 mm to 25 mm at isocenter level. Beam data, suc...
متن کاملStereotactic 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 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 کاملMeasurement of stereotactic beam data of 9 MV X-rays using diode detector
Background: Radiosurgery is a focal brain irradiation technique that delivers, usually in a single session, high dose of ionizing radiation. The presence of lateral electronic disequilibrium and steep dose gradients in small fields demands special attention to the selection of a suitable detector with respect to its size, composition and response. Materials and Methods : Small circular fields w...
متن کاملThe Role of Stereotactic Radiosurgery in Metastasis to the Spine
OBJECTIVE The incidence and prevalence of spinal metastases are increasing, and although the role of radiation therapy in the treatment of metastatic tumors of the spine has been well established, the same cannot be said about the role of stereotactic radiosurgery. Herein, the authors present a systematic review regarding the value of spinal stereotactic radiosurgery in the management of spinal...
