Abstract

Utah Valley Hospital (UVH) implemented a stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) program as an additional line of service. SRS as defined by the American College of Radiology is radiation therapy delivered via stereotactic guidance with approximately 1 mm targeting accuracy to intracranial targets in 1-5 fractions. Effectively implementing the SRS program at UVH requires the adoption and implementation of hardware and software technologies, a review of the clinical workflow with appropriate quality assurance tests, and the assessment of additional technologies that will further enhance the capabilities of the program. The scope of this work is to include a comprehensive writeup of the work that has been performed to implement the SRS program at Utah Valley Hospital.
