  Author(s): Mohsen Hamoud Jasim*, Siham Sabah Abdullah and Moneer Khammas Faraj
  
  Background: By dividing the tumour into spheres for the purpose of this study, we are investigating whether or not there is a correlation between the degree of sphericity of a target volume and the dose distribution. This relationship is assessed using the selectivity, gradient index, and Isodose Volume to Target Volume (IV/TV) ratios, as well as metrics covering coverage, selectivity, and targetvolume. While planning radiosurgery for vestibular schwannoma, it is important to consider both the conformity index and the mean dose. Purpose: Covering all the tumour with radiation and reducing the effect of radiation on normal tissue and evaluation indices include selectivity, gradient index (GI), and Paddick Conformity Index (PCI). Methods: A cross-sectional study, The sphericity degree (φ) was determined for each Target Volume (TV) of the fifty patients who had Stereotactic.. Read More»
