Treatment planning of Multiple Metastases with I. Paddick

Elekta presents Brain Cancer Treatment for Multiple Metastases with Leksell Gamma Knife. This video shows how Elekta’s Leksell Gamma Knife can deliver precise and effective radiosurgery for multiple brain metastases, a condition that is caused by a primary tumour else where in the body, such as Lung or Breast

In this video, Ian Paddick, M.Sc., a medical physicist with 15 years of experience in radio surgery, walks through the treatment planning of a multiple metastases case with Leksell Gamma Plan. He explains how to outline the lesions, define the targets, set the dose, and check the dose gradient and the treatment time. He also highlights the advantages of using Leksell Gamma Knife over other technologies, such as the unrivaled conformity and dose gradient, the low dose to the whole brain, and the safe re-treatment possibility.
