Stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) is a treatment process which combines the use of a special head frame (aka halo) and high-energy radiation beams to deliver a prescribed dose to a well-defined anatomical structure in a single fraction. Because the treatment is delivered using strategically placed dynamic conformal arcs, the dose to the normal tissue surrounding the target is significantly reduced. Diseases that are commonly treated with this modality include malignant brain tumors, primary brain gliomas, meningiomas, pituitary adenomas, acoustic neuromas, and trigeminal neuralgia. We have entertained guests from all over the world to showcase the equipment and how these techniques can be used to treat patients and improve outcomes.
