Stereotactic LINAC Radiosurgery

British Journal of Neurosurgery, 1989
A system of stereotactic radiosurgery using a linear accelerator is described and the experience with a variety of neurosurgical lesions including gliomas, acoustic neurinomas and arteriovenous malformations is recorded. The system is simple, inexpensive and effective and can be used with any CT scanner and linear accelerator.

Stereotactic radiosurgery for craniopharyngiomas

Acta Neurochirurgica, 2021
The management of craniopharyngiomas is challenging, usually requiring multidisciplinary care. We evaluated the long-term clinical and radiologic outcomes of Gamma Knife radiosurgery (GKRS) for craniopharyngiomas.This retrospective study involved patients managed with GKRS for a craniopharyngioma during the period of 1989 to 2019.

Stereotactic radiosurgery of meningiomas

Journal of Neurosurgery, 1991
✓ Stereotactic radiosurgery has an expanding role in the management of selected intracranial tumors. In an initial 30-month experience using the 201-source cobalt-60 gamma knife at the University of Pittsburgh, 50 patients with meningiomas were treated. The most frequent site of origin was the skull base.

Intracranial stereotactic radiosurgery

Journal of Neurosurgical Sciences, 2018
Stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) is the use of a single high dose of radiation, stereotactically directed to an intracranial region of interest, in order to create a lesion or obliterate a preexisting one. This technology has evolved over the years into the use of multiple radiation sources oriented at a variety of angles, thus permitting the creation ...

Stereotactic Proton Radiosurgery

Neurosurgery Clinics of North America, 1999
The technique of stereotactic proton radiosurgery is discussed in depth in this article. The physics of the proton beam in radiosurgery is explained, and the different factors of beam delivery are examined. These key factors (correspondence to shape, accuracy of delineation of volume, correspondence to volume, and accuracy of delivery vary) with each ...

Stereotactic Radiosurgery in Children

Stereotactic and Functional Neurosurgery, 1995
The role of stereotactic radiosurgery in the treatment of pediatric patients is still being explored. We report the Gamma Knife treatment of 33 patients under the age of 21, at the University of California, San Francisco, between the years 1991 and 1993. Treatment-related toxicity has been low. 10/14 patients treated for arteriovenous malformation (AVM)

Dynamic stereotactic radiosurgery

International Journal of Radiation Oncology*Biology*Physics, 1988
Two radiosurgical procedures using a stereotactic frame and a linear accelerator X ray beam with a circular field diameter between 0.5 and 3 cm are presented. One technique is based on a single plane rotation (single plane radiosurgery) whereas the other uses simultaneous and continuous motions of both the gantry (approximately 360 degrees) and couch ...

Interstitial stereotactic radiosurgery

2003
Stereotactic radiosurgery by means of interstitial application of either radionuclides or radiation devices has been used extensively in primary and secondary brain tumors. A few centers have gained sufficient expertise and clinical data to scientifically evaluate this treatment modality.
