Radiosurgery first became a clinical option in the 1960's because of the Gamma Knife, and the technology proliferated in the 1980's due to the availability of linear accelerator radiosurgery. The technology has continued to develop with both Gamma Knife and linac radiosurgery due primarily to advances in computer technology and robotic automation. Many of these advances include planning systems that enhance the conformity of the dose distribution, and delivery systems that can more safely and efficiently delivery these more complex treatment plans. This manuscript details the evolution of technologies in stereotactic localization and delivery for intracranial radiosurgery.
由于伽玛刀的出现,放射外科手术在20世纪60年代首次成为一种临床选择,并且由于直线加速器放射外科手术的可用性,该技术在20世纪80年代得到了推广。主要由于计算机技术和机器人自动化的进步,伽玛刀和直线加速器放射外科手术的技术都在持续发展。这些进步中的许多都包括增强剂量分布适形性的治疗计划系统,以及能够更安全、高效地实施这些更复杂治疗计划的输送系统。本文详细介绍了颅内放射外科手术中立体定向定位和输送技术的发展历程。
