Full Description
This fourth edition of Intracranial Stereotactic Radiosurgery builds upon the success of its previous editions to provide a comprehensive assessment of contemporary approaches and indications for intracranial stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS).
Key topics include benign and malignant tumors, cerebrovascular abnormalities, and functional disorders. In addition, two new chapters are introduced, focusing on the application of AI to SRS for intracranial lesions and the consideration of large-scale brain networks. Authored by leading experts from across the world, this book offers a fundamental insight into the field of radiosurgery.
Suitable for postgraduate students studying radiation therapy and medical physics, this text is a fundamental resource for all professionals and practitioners working in the fields of radiosurgery and radiation therapy.
