Résumé

The indications and techniques for the treatment of intracranial lesions continue to evolve with the advent of novel technologies. The Gamma Knife Icon™ (GK Icon™) is the most recent model available from Elekta, providing a frameless solution for stereotactic radiosurgery. At our institution, 382 patients with 3,213 separate intracranial lesions have been treated with frameless stereotactic radiotherapy using the GK Icon. The wide range of diagnoses include brain metastases, meningiomas, arteriovenous malformations, acoustic neuromas, pituitary adenomas, and several other histologies. The ability to perform both frame and frameless treatments on the GK Icon has significantly increased our daily volume by almost 50% on a single machine. Although the frameless approach allows one to take advantage of the precision in radiosurgery, the intricacies regarding treatment with this frameless system are not well established. Our initial experience will help to serve as a guide to those wishing to implement this novel technology in their practice.
