This study introduces a novel radiosurgery method combining stereotactic systems with linear accelerators for precise AVM treatment. The technique enables flexible irradiation angles and multiple target targeting, improving neurosurgical strategies.

Area of Science:

  • Neurosurgery
  • Medical Physics
  • Radiosurgery

Background:

  • Stereotactic radiosurgery requires precise targeting for effective treatment.
  • Existing methods may have limitations in treating complex or irregularly shaped lesions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and validate a new methodology for radiosurgery using a linear accelerator coupled with a stereotactic system.
  • To enhance the precision and flexibility of radiosurgical treatments, particularly for arteriovenous malformations (AVMs).

Main Methods:

  • Coupling the Talairach stereotactic system with a commercial linear accelerator.
  • Utilizing coronal angles of irradiation via linac angular displacement and stereotactic frame rotation.
  • Employing specialized software with dosimetric controls for target planning and isocenter modification.

Main Results:

  • The developed methodology allows for precise targeting with the irradiated target center coinciding with the linac's irradiation and rotation center.
  • Multiple targets can be irradiated in a single session, with flexible adjustments to irradiation arcs.
  • The system supports the treatment of irregularly shaped AVMs with various neurosurgical strategies.

Conclusions:

  • This integrated approach offers a versatile and accurate method for radiosurgery.
  • The technique enhances the ability to treat complex neurovascular lesions like AVMs effectively.
  • The system provides geometrical isodose modification capabilities for optimized treatment planning.
