    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Stereotactic radiosurgery precisely targets intracranial targets with radiation, effectively treating brain lesions like arteriovenous malformations and acoustic tumors. Advancements include gamma ray systems and linear accelerators (LINACs), requiring specialized dosimetry and imaging for accurate treatment.
