Abstract

This work presents measurements of entrance skin dose (ESD) delivered by the imaging systems that are needed for treatment planning of arteriovenous malformations (AVM) by stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS). Measured ESD values are in agreement with measurements reported in the literature, and their magnitudes are less than the threshold ESD for the deterministic effects. This project pretends to establish a protocol for the quantity of image acquisitions for AVM treatment by SRS.
