Gamma Knife is widely used for a variety of intracranial pathologies from benign and malignant tumours to vascular malformations. With any high-dose radiotherapy, it is necessary to utilize an accurate second check of the treatment plan.

The RadCalc Gamma Knife module is an accurate, efficient second check of the Leksell Gamma Planning system.

RadCalc performs point dose verification calculations for various Gamma Knife versions and the Leksell GammaPlan (LGP) planning system. RadCalc computes the dose and percent difference for each target utilizing proprietary TMR data, OAR data, and source position information. It utilizes a virtual machine to perform the dose computation – no physics setup is necessary. RadCalc’s virtual machine automatically selects the data based upon the type of plan.

This webinar will review the workflow and benefits of using the RadCalc Gamma Knife module to verify treatment plans.
