Leksell Radiosurgery

Description

Since its introduction 52 years ago, Leksell radiosurgery has become a widely applied technique for the management of a diverse group of vascular, neoplastic, and functional disorders. This publication presents an update on state-of-the-art radiosurgery technology, including outcomes, by the pioneers in the field. Experts have contributed chapters on various topics. They provide a history of the development of Leksell Gamma Knife and its evolution from frame-based to the inclusion of mask-based radiosurgery in the latest Gamma Knife model. For beginners, there is valuable information related to imaging, quality assurance, patient care, anesthesia, and regulatory requirements. Advance users will appreciate the summary of the long-term outcome of important indications. Additional chapters on cavernous malformation, orbital, uveal, and ocular disorders clarify the role of radiosurgery. This book is a concise overview for physicians interested in radiosurgery. It will be of great value to neurosurgeons, radiation oncologists, and medical physicists concerned with learning about the indications of radiosurgery.

Preface
The origins of this volume derived from the teaching course that our group provides at UPMC (University of Pittsburgh Medical Center) six times per year. The editors hope that it describes the evolution and current role of Leksell radiosurgery as it is applied to a wide variety of indications for cranial stereotactic radiosurgery. During the last 3 decades we have trained more than 900 neurological surgeons, 700 radiation oncologists, and almost 400 medical physicists. We are pleased that during the 31 years of our experience at the UPMC, Leksell radiosurgery has become a widely applied technique for the management of a diverse group of vascular, neoplastic, and functional disorders. The goal of the three editors of this volume of Progress in Neurological Surgery is to provide a topical summary of the current role of Leksell radiosurgery as we and other authors of this volume have applied it. It is hard to believe that Lars Leksell first coined the term stereotactic radiosurgery in 1951.
In this preface the editors would like to introduce the readership to many of the first or senior authors of chapters in this book. All have had significant roles in the development of stereotactic radiosurgery. Many authors have collaborated on more than 1 chapter.
