We have investigated the use of an adapter that permits the use of a Leksell coordinate frame with a linear accelerator stereotactic radiosurgery system based on the Brown-Robert-Wells (BRW) design. This device is useful when lesions that are planned for treatment on a Leksell Gamma Knife system are found to be inaccessible to the Gamma Knife. We have found that with this device objects within a head phantom can be targeted by the linear accelerator within an accuracy of approximately 1 mm.
我们研究了一种适配器的使用,该适配器允许在基于布朗 - 罗伯特 - 韦尔斯(BRW)设计的直线加速器立体定向放射外科系统中使用Leksell坐标系。当计划在Leksell伽马刀系统上治疗的病变被发现伽马刀无法到达时,此设备很有用。我们发现,使用该设备时,头部模型内的物体可以被直线加速器以约1毫米的精度进行靶向。
