Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) is the use of a high dose of radiation, stereotactically directed to an intracranial region of interest. This allows for the non-surgical treatment of intracranial pathologies, which significantly decreases the risk of morbidity.
There are currently a number of different delivery methods for SRS, including linear accelerators, Gamma or Cyber Knife units, and charged particle methods.
Radiosurgery is currently used in the treatment of brain metastases, meningiomas, vestibular schwannomas, sellar and suprasellar lesions, and arteriovenous malformations. Moreover, SRS is widely used to treat functional conditions, such as trigeminal neuralgia and intractable tremor.
Researchers and clinicians employing SRS in daily practice are invited to submit manuscripts regarding technical as well as clinical issues.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.
