This study presents a 3D treatment planning technique for dynamic stereotactic radiosurgery using a 10-MV linear accelerator. The method accurately calculates dose distributions by accounting for simultaneous gantry and couch rotation.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Physics
  • Radiation Oncology
  • Radiosurgery

Background:

  • Dynamic stereotactic radiosurgery involves complex 3D dose calculations due to simultaneous gantry and couch rotation.
  • Accurate dose distribution is critical for effective tumor targeting and minimizing damage to surrounding tissues.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present a novel treatment planning technique for dynamic stereotactic radiosurgery.
  • To develop and validate a dose calculational algorithm for 10-MV linear accelerator-based dynamic radiosurgery.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance (MR) scans for patient anatomical data.
  • Employed a stereotactic frame for precise target localization, setup, and immobilization.
  • Developed a dose calculational algorithm that incrementally tracks gantry and couch rotation, using measured beam data.
