Fig. 7From: Evaluation of particle radiotherapy for the re-irradiation of recurrent intracranial meningiomaExemplary treatment plan for re-irradiation of a large recurrent meningioma of the skull base. A re-irradiation dose of 17 × 3 Gy(RBE) carbon ions was applied and a dose of 11 × 3,8 Gy photons had been applied one year earlier in a FSRT-setting. Dose to the directly adjoining optic chiasm could be reduced to 11,0 Gy(RBE) mean (33,3 Gy(RBE) max) and dose to the brain stem to 6,5 Gy(RBE) mean (36,3 Gy(RBE) max).
