ABSTRACT

External stereotaxic irradiation of intracranial lesions has recently gained its interest in the fields of not only radiation oncology but also neurosurgery. Its main goal is to deliver large doses to a relatively small target volume. Authors present methods of the stereotaxic radiosurgical irradiation using 6MV linear accelerator (Nelac-6) and isodose distribution by therapeutic computer (Therac 2000). We attempt to demonstrate the dose distribution on verification films.

Key Words: Multiple arc stereotaxic radiotherapy, Linear accelerator, Therapeutic computer, Verification film
