International Journal of Cancer and Clinical Research, 2019 Aim: Acoustic neuromas, also known as vestibular schwannomas are benign and slow-growing tumors arising from neural crest-derived Schwann cells. Treatment of acoustic neuromas targets to achieve local control while preserving hearing without comprimising

Journal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics, EarlyView.Abstract Purpose Single‐isocenter multitarget (SIMT) radiosurgery has become increasingly popular as advancement in planning and delivery systems have made this approach clinically viable. With targets varying in size and distance from isocenter, SIMT plans are highly complex with dynamic multileaf collimator (MLC) motion.

Systemic therapy‐based split‐course stereotactic body radiation therapy
Precision Radiation Oncology, Volume 6, Issue 4, Page 306-320, December 2022., 2022 Abstract Purpose Given the therapeutic toxicity of concurrent chemoradiotherapy, the dose of chemotherapy is always limited. Hence, the question of how to administer adequate chemotherapy to synchronize stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) treatment strategy for maximizing the benefits of neoadjuvant therapy to improve prognosis is a challenging ...

Results of Gamma Knife Radiosurgery in Acromegaly
International Journal of Endocrinology, 2012 Objective. Single-session radiosurgery with Gamma Knife (GK) may be a potential adjuvant treatment in acromegaly. We analyzed the safety and efficacy of GK in patients who had previously received maximal surgical debulking at our hospital. Methods.

A Multiobjective Approach for Sector Duration Optimization in Stereotactic Radiosurgery Treatment Planning [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 Sector duration optimization (SDO) is a problem arising in treatment planning for stereotactic radiosurgery on Gamma Knife. Given a set of isocenter locations, SDO aims to select collimator size configurations and irradiation times thereof such that target tissues receive prescribed doses in a reasonable amount of treatment time, while healthy tissues ...

Deep Learning Based Segmentation of Various Brain Lesions for Radiosurgery [PDF]
arXiv, 2020 Semantic segmentation of medical images with deep learning models is rapidly developed. In this study, we benchmarked state-of-the-art deep learning segmentation algorithms on our clinical stereotactic radiosurgery dataset, demonstrating the strengths and weaknesses of these algorithms in a fairly practical scenario.
