Hippocampal Dosimetry and the Necessity of Hippocampal-Sparing in Gamma Knife Stereotactic Radiosurgery for Extensive Brain Metastases
Purpose: To characterize hippocampal dosimetry in Gamma Knife stereotactic radiosurgery (GK-SRS) for extensive brain metastases and evaluate the need for hippocampal-sparing in GK-SRS treatment planning. Methods and Materials: We reviewed 75 GK-SRS plans for the treatment of 4 to 30 brain metastases...
