“…The results showed that an AVM with a longer stagnation time of the contrast medium was more likely to be occluded 4) . We also summarized the most common cases of brain metastasis that were treated by radiosurgery 5) . At that time, since there was only one magnetic resonance imaging device in Juntendo University, the radiation effect of SRS was evaluated by CT images.…”

is the second hospital in Japan to start stereotactic brain irradiation using linear accelerator (LINAC) system. This report details the historical transition of stereotactic irradiation, progress of treatment technology, and change of treatment method from the beginning to the Juntendo University Hospital and Juntendo Nerima Hospital. The hospital changed the use of cobalt to the LINAC system when it was rebuilt in 1993. Total body irradiation treatment for leukemia had started around the same time. A year later, in 1994, the hospital used their LINAC systems to perform stereotactic head irradiation, otherwise known as pinpoint irradiation. In 2005, Juntendo University Nerima Hospital was opened and in September of the same year, radiation therapy using the latest model of LINAC system at that time was initiated. This was the first among all Juntendo hospitals to start intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) and image-guided radiotherapy (IGRT). In 2014, a second LINAC system for IMRT and IGRT was equipped at the Juntendo Hongo Hospital. In 2021, the LINAC systems of the Juntendo University Nerima Hospital were replaced after 15 years of usage. The new method of SRS was started using a latest LINAC systems.In this paper, I introduce the technique and progress of SRS that I have experienced mainly in Juntendo University.
