Physical Aspects of Stereotactic Radiosurgery

The current volume presents a comprehensive, unbiased description of the physical aspects of focussed gamma radiation, focussed x-radiation, and the charged particle method of stereotactic radiosurgery, and the role each plays in treatment. Physicists will find the work a useful guide to the choice and setup of a radiosurgical unit, while physicians will gain insight into those factors affecting the patient.
