Radiosurgery precisely targets brain conditions like arteriovenous malformations using focused radiation. This advanced technique minimizes damage to surrounding healthy tissue, expanding its clinical applications.

Area of Science:

  • Neurosurgery
  • Radiation Oncology
  • Medical Physics

Background:

  • Radiosurgery, initially stereotactic irradiation of intracranial targets, now encompasses diverse techniques and radiation sources.
  • Technological advancements have broadened the scope of radiosurgery beyond its original application.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide a comprehensive overview of modern radiosurgery techniques and their applications.
  • To highlight the expanding role of radiosurgery in treating various intracranial pathologies.
  • To emphasize the importance of nursing knowledge in radiosurgery procedures.

Main Methods:

  • Utilizes various radiation sources including cobalt-60, protons, helium ions, neutrons, and linear accelerators.
  • Employs three-dimensional stereotactic irradiation for precise targeting of small intracranial volumes.
