Ask Questions of this Manuscript:
What is the background behind your study?
The Perfexion gamma knife unit was installed at our center.
What is the purpose of your study?
Our purpose was to assess the effect of radiosurgery on intracranial lesions with Leksell Gamma Knife Perfexion.
Describe your patient group.
60 patients with intracranial lesions treated
with the first Leksell Gamma Knife Perfexion in China between July to
September in 2011.
Describe what you did.
Different treatment plans of Leksell GammaPlan version 9.0 were compared for target coverage, number of isocenters, doses of important structures.
Describe your main findings.
The software generated high dosimetric conformity and good protection for important structures.
Describe the main limitation of this study.
This was a retrospective study.
Describe your main conclusion.
The treatment plan of LGK PFX is efficient.
Describe the importance of your findings and how they can be used by others.
Images merged with functional MRI improves to decrease high doses for important function area.
