Photon, electron and proton radiations are used extensively for medical purposes in
diagnostic and therapeutic procedures. Dosimetry of these radiation sources can be …

Performing and assuring the quality of the planning and delivery of stereotactic radiosurgery
with photon beams requires accurate evaluation of beam parameters, usually including …

Abstract Two new detectors (0.015 cm 3 ion chamber from PTW, 0.6 mm diameter diode
from Scanditronix AB) designed specifically for use in small stereotactic fields were …

We present an evaluation of the precision and accuracy of image‐based radiochromic film
(RCF) dosimetry performed using a commercial RCF product (Gafchromic MD‐55‐2 …

This book attempts to combine many different threads into a comprehensible whole. Since
the subject is the Gamma Knife and the author is a neurosurgeon, the field of clinical interest …

Treatment units for radiosurgery, brachytherapy, implementation of seeds, and IMRT
generate small high dose regions together with steep dose gradients of up to 30%–50% per …

High-resolution dose profiles produced by the Leksell Gamma Knife were obtained in
BANGTM polymer gel, using a 3 T whole-body scanner upgraded by a magnetic resonance …

Our aim in this study was to distinguish quantitatively between the localization accuracy of a
commercially available stereotactic fixation device as claimed by the manufacturer and the …

Object. The aim of this study was to assess the effects of the gamma knife automatic
positioning system (APS) on the treatment of patients, particularly effects of this system on …

Background and purpose: We report on the accuracy of metal oxide–silicon semiconductor
field effect transistor (MOSFET) detectors to measure dose distributions in the region of a …
