Abstract
- The Gamma Knife is a specialized tool for precisely delivering high-dose radiation to treat benign brain tumors, arteriovenous malformations, metastatic brain tumors, and some functional brain diseases. In recent years, more brain diseases have been treated with minimally invasive approaches, including radiosurgery or craniotomy followed by radiosurgery, to avoid surgery-related neurological deficits as much as possible. The Gamma Knife is playing a leading role as a precise radiosurgical tool, and it is very popular. The users of the Gamma Knife—and, in fact, all neurosurgeons—can benefit from knowledge regarding the process of radiosurgery. In this article, we introduce the process of planning radiosurgery with GammaPlan®.
