Abstract

Gamma knife radiosurgery is one of the main methods for tumor treatment, but the presence of set-up error results in a certain deviation between the irradiation target and the preselected target in radiotherapy. In this paper, a method for the positioning verification of irradiation target in Gamma knife radiosurgery based on the minimum projection error is proposed. By comparing the projection of the actual irradiation target with that of each spot in the small area around the tumor spot, the location of the actual irradiation target in the radiation treatment is achieved. The simulation results show our method is feasible and stability.
