  • It is important that the precise decision of the region and the accurate delivery of radiation dose required for treatment in the stereotactic radiosurgery. In this research, radiosurgery was carried with Leksell streotactic frame(LSF) which is especially developed water phantom to verify in experiment. Leksell Gamma Knife and LSF are used in radiosurgery is the spherical water phantom has the thickness of 2 mm, the radius of 160mm. The film for target localization and ionchamber for dose delivery was used in measurement instruments We compare the coordinate of target which is initialized by biplannar film with simple X-ray to the coordinate of film measured directly. The calculated dose by computer simulation and the measured dose by ionization chamber are compared. In this research, the target localization has the range ${\pm}$0.3mm for the acceptable error range and the absolute dose is :${\pm}$0.3mm for the acceptable error range. This research shows that the values measured by using the especially manufactured phantom are included the acceptable error range. Thus, this water phantom will be used continuously in the periodic quality assurance of Gamma Knife Unit and Leksell Stereotactic Frame.
