Novalis (R) Shaped Beam Radiosurgery has set new standards by
delivering highly precise radiation treatments to tumors anywhere
in the body through the use of a proprietary multileaf collimator.
By shaping the radiation beam to the exact contours of the tumor or
lesion, Novalis permits maximum dose delivery to the entire tumor
while protecting healthy tissue; this makes it eminently suitable
for the treatment of irregularly shaped tumors. This book provides
a complete guide to radiosurgery treatments with Novalis. After a
thorough discussion of the clinical and technical basis for Shaped
Beam Radiosurgery, current clinical applications are considered in
detail, including brain, body, skull base, and spinal tumors as
well as arteriovenous malformations. Careful consideration is also
given to future developments and applications, including new
technologies that promise to offer even more accurate treatments.
This state-of-the-art book will appeal to a wide audience of
physicians and their multidisciplinary clinical and technical
collaborators.
This book is one-of-a-kind comprehensive Radiosurgery Case Review
Atlas that includes not only cranial and spinal cases, but also
structural and functional radiosurgery ones. It categorizes the
various radiosurgery-treated pathologies, presenting illustrative
case reviews for each category. Each case includes a clinical
summary, a treatment protocol, a radiosurgery dosimetry summary,
the pre-radiosurgery images and the serial, short-term and
long-term, follow up images illustrating the clinical and
radiologic outcomes of the radiosurgery treatment. Offering the
readers a handy step-by-step practical guide to perform safe and
effective radiosurgery treatment, this will be a useful toolkit for
neurosurgeons, radiation neuro-oncologists and radiation physicists
(Radiosurgeons) conducting radiosurgery programs or involved in
radiosurgery training.
