Abstract

The irradiation of tumors in the brain is challenging due to the proximity of radiation sensitive critical structures and the tumors to be treated. In addition, irradiation above a certain level can cause irreversible damage to nerve tissue. The irradiation of benign and malignant brain tumors requires precise techniques to preserve critical structures while simultaneously administering a high radiation dose for maximum effectiveness. Therefore, stereotaxy, as a subspecialty of neurosurgery, has developed various irradiation techniques, e.g., intracerebral application of interstitial brachytherapy (SBT; stereotactic brachytherapy) and stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS). Due to the development of computer-controlled radiation techniques (e.g., Cyberknife) over the last 20 years, SRS has gained increasing importance.
