Abstract
R8diosurgcrv i> :1 one-time :1pplication of a high dose of radiation to a
stereotactically defined target volume. Radiosurgery differs radically from convention:1l ncurosurgety in that it is generally an outpatient treatment with no tncrsron and few acute complications. No acute change occurs in the pathologic process. Radiosurgery usually relies on one high-dose treatment as opposed to the multiple low-dose fractions inherent in conventional treatment. The goal of radiosurgery is to deliver a high dose to the target, and a minimal, and; it is
hoped, harmless dose to nom1al tissue just a few millimeters away ( Friedma11
