Area of Science:

Oncology
Radiation Oncology
Medical Physics

Context:

Stereotactic radiotherapy utilizes precise 3D coordinate systems for accurate lesion localization.
It employs conformed radiation beams converging on the target, enabling high-dose delivery.
Distinguishes between radiosurgery (single session) and stereotactic radiotherapy (multiple sessions).

Purpose:

To describe the principles and technological requirements of stereotactic radiotherapy.
To highlight advancements in lesion localization and motion management.
To outline the primary indications for radiosurgery and stereotactic radiotherapy.

Summary:

Stereotactic radiotherapy uses patient-independent 3D coordinates for precise lesion targeting.
Specialized immobilization systems and beam-conforming devices are essential.
Modern techniques incorporate imaging and motion management (gating, tracking) for enhanced precision.

Impact:

Enables high-dose radiotherapy delivery while sparing surrounding healthy tissues.
Facilitates treatment of both intracranial (radiosurgery) and extracranial (stereotactic radiotherapy) lesions.
Advances in technology allow for precise targeting of mobile tumors, improving therapeutic ratios.
