Abstract Stereotactic radiotherapy (SRT) has the characteristics of large irradiation dose per fraction, few fraction sessions and sharp dose falloff out of the target volume. During the radiotherapy treatment, the most precise equipments should be used, and the strictest and most standardized operations should be performed. The purpose of this guideline is to establish the minimum level of medical physics support deemed prudent for the practice of linear-accelerator, photon-based (Linac) stereotactic (cranial) radiation therapy (SRT) services in China, aiming to help institutions in China to carry out SRT technology correctly and safely. When using this guideline, each institution should develop clear and detailed standard operating procedures according to their SRT equipment-specific or patient-specific requirements.
