Radiation properties of a miniature X-ray device for radiosurgery

DS Biggs and ES Thomson
Department of Medical Physics and Bioengineering, Norfolk and Norwich Health Care NHS Trust, UK.

An alternative technology for performing interstitial intracranial radiosurgery is presented. Treatments are performed intraoperatively using a stereotactically mounted, miniature X-ray device. A concentrated, spherical pattern of X-rays is generated about the tip of a needle-like probe, which is inserted into the site of the lesion allowing the absorbed dose to healthy tissue to be minimized. A description of the device is given and results of investigations into the operating characteristics discussed.
