Area of Science:

  • Radiation Oncology
  • Medical Physics

Background:

  • Stereotactic radiotherapy (SRT) requires precise radiation delivery.
  • Advancements in linear accelerator technology have enabled sophisticated treatment planning techniques.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To summarize and evaluate current linear accelerator-based SRT planning.
  • To assess various planning techniques for efficacy and safety.

Main Methods:

  • Review of established SRT planning techniques: 3D conformal radiotherapy, dynamic conformal arc therapy, intensity-modulated radiotherapy, and VMAT.
  • Comparative analysis of dose delivery and normal tissue sparing.

Main Results:

  • All reviewed techniques aim to maximize target dose and minimize normal tissue toxicity.
  • Volumetric-modulated arc therapy (VMAT) demonstrates superior potential for clinical application in SRT.

Conclusions:

  • VMAT presents a promising approach for SRT planning.
  • Further research and clinical evaluation are recommended to optimize SRT planning strategies.
