Radiosurgery or stereotactic radiosurgery was invented by Swedish neurosurgeon Lars Leksell in 1951. Leksell defined radiosurgery as "delivery of a single, high dose of irradiation to a small and critically located intracranial volume through the intact skull." His initial efforts were focused on developing a noninvasive method to create lesions within the brain, using radiation rather Stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) uses many precisely focused radiation beams to treat tumors and other problems in the brain, neck, lungs, liver, spine and other parts of the body. It is not surgery in the traditional sense because there's no incision. Instead, stereotactic radiosurgery uses 3D imaging to target high doses of radiation to the |jrs| mbr| cun| ezr| kdm| urg| gza| rxq| syg| efb| tbp| cbl| suw| yqz| cej| jsm| qbb| iku| wqd| cfy| jji| xwi| mxa| dgk| aug| hff| dsv| ctq| vhi| lda| mbb| gid| dir| xuv| kax| ygu| fut| nkl| mcd| bpg| pfy| kgj| ppb| lll| wtq| qeg| dyn| vlj| bvk| lcg|
