[PMID: 36718356 PMCID: PMC9883231 DOI: 10.1016/j.phro.2023.100415] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/26/2022] [Revised: 01/16/2023] [Accepted: 01/18/2023] [Indexed: 01/22/2023] Open
Abstract
As frameless stereotactic radiosurgery increase in use, the aim of this study was to evaluate intra-fraction motion through cone-beam CT (CBCT) and high-definition motion management (HDMM) systems. Intra-fraction motion measured between localization, repeat localization and post-treatment CBCTs were correlated to intra-faction motion indicated by the HDMM files using the Pearson coefficient (r). A total of 302 plans were reviewed from 263 patients (114 male, 149 female); 216 pairs of localization-repeat localization, and 260 localization-post-treatment CBCTs were analyzed against HDMM logs. We found the magnitude of intra-fraction motion detected by the HDMM system were larger than the corresponding CBCT results.

[PMID: 36610006 PMCID: PMC10113692 DOI: 10.1002/acm2.13892] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/17/2022] [Revised: 12/08/2022] [Accepted: 12/15/2022] [Indexed: 01/09/2023] Open
Abstract
The Leksell Gamma Knife (LGK) IconTM is used for mask-based and frame-based fixation. The mask fixation provides a noninvasive method. However, an optimal mask fixation method is yet to be established. We evaluated the characteristics of three mask fixation methods (Plain, Folded, and Wide) for the LGK IconTM . Force-sensitive resistor sensors were attached to the forehead, supraorbital, zygoma, mandible, and occipital bone of the phantom, and digital humidity and temperature sensors were attached to both temporal lobes. Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) and high-definition motion management (HDMM) for each mask fixation method were used to evaluate the phantom motion during the initial application. Subsequently, the mask was removed and reapplied on the second (1st reapplication) and third days (2nd reapplication). In the initial application, forces acting on most portions of the phantom were stabilized within 1.5 h. The largest force acted on the occipital bone for the Plain and Wide methods and on the mandible for the Folded method. The temperature rapidly approaches the initial temperature, whereas the humidity gradually approached the initial humidity in all fixation methods. The Folded method exhibited a significantly lower translation along the Y-axis of the Leksell coordinate system, and rotations along all axes were under 0.5°. The HDMM values remained at 0.1 mm for all fixation methods. In the reapplications, the force acting on the occipital bone was significantly greater than that during the initial application for all mask fixation methods; the temperature and humidity remained unchanged. All mask fixation methods in the 1st reapplication were not significantly different from those in the 2nd reapplication. The Folded method is recommended as an optimal mask fixation for patients who require tight fixation; the Wide method can be considered if patient comfort is a priority.

Abstract
There have been advances in both the hardware and software used in GKNS. The first major change in hardware had been Gamma Knife PERFEXION which introduced in 2006 had given more space for treatment, and removed the need for helmets, facilitating the treatment of complex conditions. Gamma Knife ICON was commissioned first in 2017. This has two important changes. It is based on the PERFEXION model, but it is constructed to permit frameless treatments. It also has an attached CBCT apparatus which may be used to define the stereotactic space. The Gamma Knife software has also improved in two important respects. The speedy calculations available to modern computer power has enabled improvements in the accuracy of the determination of intracranial radiation absorption between source and target. The other improvement has been the introduction of inverse treatment planning which continues to be under development.

Abstract
Purpose The latest version of the Gamma Knife, the Icon, allows for immobilization with a mask in lieu of the traditional frame during stereotactic radiosurgery. There have been some concerns regarding extent of immobilization during single fraction frameless treatment and potential effect on outcomes. As such, we reviewed outcomes in patients with brain metastases treated in a single fraction using either a frame or mask on the Gamma Knife Icon at our institution. Methods and Materials We reviewed the records of 95 patients with a total of 374 metastases treated between May 2019 and January 2021. Thirty-nine patients (41%) were treated using the Leksell frame with the remainder being immobilized with a mask. The median number of metastatic lesions was 2 (1–20). The median prescription dose was 20 Gy (11.5–24 Gy). Odds ratios were generated to identify predictors of mask use. Kaplan-Meier analysis was used to calculate survival, local failure, and distant failure rates. Cox regression was used to identify predictors of survival. Propensity matching was used to account for indication bias. Results Of the 95 patients treated, 88 (93%) had follow-up with a median duration of 5 months (1–18). Frame utilization was more likely with 6 to 10 brain metastases. Median overall survival was not reached and was 70% and 60% at 6 and 12 months for the entire cohort, respectively. There was no significant difference in survival by immobilization method (P = .12). Six patients had local failure in 10 total lesions (3 patients in each group). After propensity matching the 12 month tumor local control was 96% and 85% for framed and frameless cases, respectively (P = .07). Conclusions Frameless mask-based stereotactic radiosurgery using the Gamma Knife Icon is feasible and maintains the excellent local control seen with the use of the headframe.

Dosimetric comparison of Gamma Knife® Icon TM and linear accelerator-based fractionated stereotactic radiotherapy (FSRT) plans for the re-irradiation of large (>14 cm 3) recurrent glioblastomas. JOURNAL OF RADIOSURGERY AND SBRT 2021; 7:233-243.

Abstract
Our objective is to investigate dosimetric differences between clinically deliverable Gamma Knife® (GK) Icon™ and linac-based FSRT plans on the basis of normal brain dose sparing for large (>14 cm3) recurrent glioblastomas (GBM). Sixteen patients with large, recurrent GBM were treated using re-irradiation via linac-based FSRT, 35 Gy in 10 fractions. For each patient, a new GK FSRT plan was created in Leksell GammaPlan® V11 (LGP). To maintain clinical deliverability, the LGP optimization included a planning goal of treatment time <20 minutes per fraction. Dosimetric comparison of coverage and normal brain dose between the linac and GK treatment plans was performed in MIM. The GK FSRT plans had significantly (p < 0.05) lower mean normal brain dose values (-8.85%), mean values of normal brain V20 (-32.4%) and V12 (-25.9%), and a lower mean V4 (-10.0%). GK FSRT plans have the potential to reduce the risk of radiation-related toxicities.
