IMAGE-GUIDED ROBOTIC RADIOSURGERY

摘要

Abstract: We describe a radiosurgical system based onanovel medical linear accelerator of particularly light weight, a six degree-of-freedom robotic arm and an on-line x-ray vision system. The system introduces a class of radiosurgical procedures, termed non-stereotactic, or image-guided radiosurgery. A treatment planning subsys-tem based on new paradigms for inverse planning was developed in an interdisciplinary project at Stanford Univer-
