Image-guided robotic radiosurgery enables frameless treatments for lesions inside and outside the skull. This advanced technology allows for precise ablation in the spine, chest, and abdomen, expanding therapeutic options.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Physics
  • Radiation Oncology
  • Neurosurgery

Background:

  • Conventional radiosurgery, reliant on stereotactic frames, was limited to single treatments of intracranial lesions.
  • The advent of image-guided robotic radiosurgery has significantly expanded the applications of this precise radiation delivery technique.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To detail the technological foundation of image-guided radiosurgery.
  • To explore future advancements and current clinical applications of robotic radiosurgery, highlighting paradigm shifts in therapy.

Main Methods:

  • Utilizes real-time image guidance for frameless targeting, replacing traditional stereotactic frames.
  • Employs robotic beam delivery systems combined with non-isocentric inverse planning for enhanced treatment precision.
