Abstract

The International Commission on Radiation Units and Measurements (ICRU) report 91 with the title “prescribing, recording, and reporting of stereotactic treatments with small photon beams” was published in 2017. This extensive publication covers different relevant aspects of stereotactic radiotherapy such as small field dosimetry, accuracy requirements for volume definition and planning algorithms, and the precise application of treatment by means of image guidance. Finally, recommendations for prescribing, recording and reporting are given.

Zusammenfassung

In 2017 wurde der Report 91 der International Commission on Radiation Units and Measurements (ICRU) zur Verordnung und Dokumentation von stereotaktischen Bestrahlungen mit kleinen Photonenfeldern veröffentlicht. Die umfassende Publikation geht auf diverse relevante Aspekte der Stereotaxie ein, wie die Kleinfelddosimetrie, die Genauigkeitsanforderungen der Volumendefinition und der Planungsalgorithmen sowie die präzise Applikation der Bestrahlung mithilfe von Bildgebung. Schließlich werden Empfehlungen zu Verschreibung und Dosisdokumentation bei stereotaktischen Bestrahlungen gegeben.
