|
A modified irradiation technique utilizing a linear accelerator for radiation surgery within the brain was performed in 41 cases of patients with anteriovenous malformation(AVM), astrocytoma, meningioma. etc. The treatment planning and dosimetry of small field for stereotactic radiosurgery with 10 MV X-ray isocentically mounted linear accelerator will be presented dose with field size, the central axis persent depth dose and the combined moving beam dose distribution. The three dimensional dose planning of stereotactic focusing irradiation on small size tumor region was perfomed with dose planning computer system(Therac 2300) and was verified with film dosimetry. The more the number of strip and the wider the angle of arc rotation, the larger were the dose delivered on tumor and the less the dose to surrounding the normal tissues. In this study, the using machine and method was as fellowing. 1) Apparatus : NELAC-1018 10MV X-ray 2) Strip No. : Select the 5-7 strips 3) Cone and field size are from to , and special circular cone designed for the purpose of minimized the risk to normal tissue and those size are .
