This book attempts to combine many different threads into a
comprehensible whole. Since the subject is the Gamma Knife and the
author is a neurosurgeon, the field of clinical interest is
restricted to intracranial pathology. The discipline of
radiosurgery now applies to patients who may reasonably be referred
by internists, neurologists, otolaryngologists, endocrinologists
and several others. Some of the topics, touched upon, such as
stereotaxy and the construction of a radio surgical instrument are
unfamiliar to the majority of medical men. Other topics, such as
those pertaining to the reactions between radiation and living
tissue, are not exactly unfamiliar and yet, for most of us, they
are not comfortable areas of expertise: in that we have some basic
knowledge but not enough to draw conclusions and interpret. In
particular, it is not easy to answer the very sensible questions
that patients ask, when being considered for this particular form
of treatment. The author has attempted to describe the basic
relevant phenomenology in terms that should be readily
understandable to a non-specialist physician. To do this, he has
been heavily dependent on the expertise of a number of
mathematically sophisticated collaborators, who have checked his
manuscript. They are named in the acknowledgments section. The
relevance of the different sections of this book will naturally be
assessed differently, according to the experience and interest of
the reader. To simplifY access to the information that is required,
the book is divided into three main sections.
