Pituitary adenoma treatment plan quality comparison between linear accelerator volumetric modulated arc therapy and Leksell Gamma Knife® radiosurgery.

The aim of this study was to compare radiosurgical treatment plan quality of a linear accelerator with Leksell Gamma Knife (LGK) for pituitary adenoma irradiation. Thirty pituitary adenoma patients were evaluated in this study. Treatment plans were prepared on LGK and stereotactic linear accelerator Varian TrueBeam STx.
