Dosimetric Impact of Source Displacement in GammaTile Surgically Targeted Radiation Therapy for Gliomas

Abstract: BackgroundThis study aims to evaluate dosimetric changes that happened during the first month after GammaTile surgically targeted radiation therapy (STaRT) for gliomas due to seed displacement caused by cavity shrinkage in brain brachytherapy. MethodologyIn this study, 10 glioma patients had 4-11 GammaTiles placed along the resection bed after maximal safe resection during craniotomy. Each GammaTile is composed of four Cs-131 seeds embedded in a biodegradable collagen sponge to minimize seed movement and main… Show more
