Abstract

TomoTherapy could potentially provide an efficient advantage as a stereotactic radiosurgery delivery system especially in the case of multiple intracranial targets. The non-isocentric approach, specific of TomoTherapy treatments, can in fact lead to a significant time sparing compared to conventional techniques with multiple isocentres. In order to perform stereotactic treatment high gometrical accuracy of the image guidance system provided with TomoTherapy is needed. In this study the global accuracy of the positioning procedure has been assessed considering the contribution of Mega Voltage CT (MVCT) slice thickness and registration algorithms.
