Area of Science:

  • Neurosurgery
  • Radiation Oncology
  • Medical Physics

Background:

  • Arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) present complex treatment challenges in radiosurgery.
  • Accurate dose planning is crucial for effective AVM radiosurgery while sparing adjacent tissues.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present a 3-D methodology, the associated targets methodology, for planning radiosurgical irradiations of complex AVMs.
  • To detail the ARTEMIS-3D treatment planning system and its application in AVM treatment.

Main Methods:

  • Prescription and delivery of a minimal target dose on the lesion surface (60-70% isodose range).
  • Consideration of dose to adjacent functional neurological structures and maximum lesion dose.
  • Optimization via superimposition of isodose surface and 3-D lesion contour with sharp dose fall-offs.

  • Interactive manipulation of treatment parameters for plan optimization.

    • Main Results:

    • Improved angiographic results in complex AVMs compared to previous methods.
    • Better lesion encompassing achieved through the new methodology.
    • Clinical plan choice balances optimal isodose surface coverage and minimized dose fall-off.

    Conclusions:

    • The associated targets methodology provides an effective approach for planning radiosurgical irradiations of complex AVMs.
    • This 3-D planning system enhances treatment precision and improves clinical outcomes for AVM patients.
