Treatment with Linear Accelerator Dedicated to Stereotactic Fractionated Radiotherapy
Description of treatment with linear accelerator dedicated to stereotactic fractionated radiotherapy
1. Stereotactic mask is used to adapt BrainLab termomaleables that takes the exact shape of the head. The plastic material of the mask after a few minutes and it cools, it becomes rigid and strong element. The mask is bi-valve, that is part of a previous posterior occipital and frontal. This facilitates the patient’s head to keep still and comfortable. The mask has a mouth holder (Byte Block) to reduce involuntary movements and carry out the treatment accurately.
2. The next step is the development of computed tomography at IPRO, a dedicated scanner, then to merge resonance imaging previously acquired under the same conditions described for radiosurgery “a fraction”.
3. In the scheduler (IPLAN) are drawn target volume and organs at risk of harm. It is the dosimetry and distribution of the beams with or without intensity modulated.
