Abstract
The International Commission on Radiation Units and Measurements (ICRU) report 91 with the title “prescribing, recording, and reporting of stereotactic treatments with small photon beams” was published in 2017. This extensive publication covers different relevant aspects of stereotactic radiotherapy such as small field dosimetry, accuracy requirements for volume definition and planning algorithms, and the precise application of treatment by means of image guidance. Finally, recommendations for prescribing, recording and reporting are given.
