Stereotactic radiosurgery using CT cisternography and non-isocentric planning for the treatment of trigeminal neuralgia.
Comput Aided Surg. 2006; (1): 11-20
Frame-based radiosurgical rhizotomy has been shown in clinical studies to be effective for managing trigeminal neuralgia (TN). To date, however, only a small pilot study has been published for the frameless, image-guided CyberKnife system. We present our preliminary experience with 29 trigeminal neuralgia patients treated with the frameless CyberKnife using X-ray image-guided targeting, a novel CT method for target definition, and non-isocentric planning.
