One of the treatment options for recurrent brain metastases is surgical resection combined with intracranial brachytherapy. GammaTile® (GT) (GT Medical Technologies, Tempe, Arizona) is a tile-shaped permanent brachytherapy device with cesium 131 (Cs) seeds embedded within a collagen carrier. We report a case of treating a patient with recurrent brain metastases with GT and demonstrate a dosimetric modeling method.
复发性脑转移瘤的治疗选择之一是手术切除联合颅内近距离放射治疗。GammaTile®(GT)(GT医疗技术公司,亚利桑那州坦佩)是一种瓦片形状的永久性近距离放射治疗设备,其胶原载体中嵌入了铯131(Cs)籽源。我们报告了一例使用GT治疗复发性脑转移瘤患者的病例,并展示了一种剂量学建模方法。
