A snapshot of the current knowledge of techniques, results, and complications relating to doing brain surgery with radiation rather than with knives, first developed in the 1950s and under constant revision. Practitioners and researchers from around the world provide information on technical considerations, radiation physics, radiobiology, radiosurgical systems, clinical results, and future directions. Includes 11 color plates, and is otherwise highly illustrated in black and white. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.
This text investigates the clinical efficacy, technical methodologies, and biological foundations of stereotactic radiosurgery as a non-invasive alternative to traditional neurosurgical procedures. Authors Eben Alexander and Jay S. Loeffler compile contributions from an international cohort of practitioners and researchers to establish a comprehensive framework for brain radiation therapy. The work synthesizes historical developments since the 1950s with contemporary standards for managing intracranial pathologies.
