Abstract

`


Objective: Stereotactic radiation therapy (SRT) based on linear accelerators is an optimal choice for patients with indications. Each facility is equipped with different machine systems and ancillary equipment. To study and implement SRT on head phanton system to initially standardize the SRT procedure on the basis of the VersaHD linear accelerator at K hospital. Subject and Method: A practical study currently based on ICRU and AAPM guidelines on the planning and evaluation process. In addition, the study performed SRT procedures on head phantom with different tumor sizes and locations. Result: Provide a process for planning and evaluating radiotherapy plans at the facility, evaluating the performance of existing equipment at the facility in practicing SRT. Conclusion: The study confirmed the facility's ability to perform SRT on the basis of accelerators and associated equipment before performing treatment on patients.
