Highlights:
  • Practical guidelines on radiosurgery target delineation, dose selection and escalation, patient immobilization, and quality assurance
  • Comprehensive discussion of the design of various radiosurgical devices and the technical approaches recommended for the use of each
  • More than 100 illustrations, most in full-color, to demonstrate key concepts
  • This is a must-have resource for clinicians, medical physicists, fellows, and residents in neurosurgery and radiation oncology. Spine surgeons, orthopaedists, and oncologists at all levels of expertise will also benefit from the wealth of information provided in this book.
