  • Title: The principles of skull base radiosurgery.
    Author: Kondziolka D, Flickinger JC, Lunsford LD.
    Journal: Neurosurg Focus; 2008; 24(5):E11. PubMed ID: 18447740.
    Abstract:
    Stereotactic radiosurgery is commonly used for selected patients with benign cranial base tumors. The goal of radiosurgery is cessation of tumor growth and preservation of neurological function. Over the last 2 decades, the technique of radiosurgery has evolved due to improved imaging, better radiosurgical devices and software, and the continued analysis of results. In this report, the authors discuss technical concepts and dose selection in skull base radiosurgery.
