This study presents radiosurgery for 155 patients with intracranial lesions unsuitable for surgery. The technique used a linear accelerator and multiple non-coplanar arcs for irradiation.

Area of Science:

  • Neurosurgery
  • Radiation Oncology
  • Medical Physics

Background:

  • Intracranial lesions pose treatment challenges, especially when unsuitable for open craniotomy.
  • Radiosurgery offers a non-invasive alternative for specific neurological conditions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present clinical experience with a specific radiosurgical technique for intracranial lesions.
  • To evaluate the efficacy and application of radiosurgery in patients ineligible for traditional surgery.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized a standard linear accelerator for radiation delivery.
  • Employed a multiple non-coplanar arc irradiation modality.
  • Treated a series of 155 patients with intracranial lesions between November 1982 and March 1988.

Main Results:

  • The study details the clinical application of this radiosurgical approach.
  • Outcomes for patients with intracranial lesions treated with this method are presented.

Conclusions:

  • Radiosurgery using a linear accelerator and multiple non-coplanar arcs is a viable treatment option for select intracranial lesions.
  • This technique provides an alternative for patients unsuitable for open craniotomy.
