To precisely immobilize and pinpoint the target area, local anesthetic is used to connect a stereotactic frame to the patient's head. In certain situations, immobilization may be accomplished with a bespoke thermoplastic mask rather than a frame.
While the frame or mask is in place, high-resolution imaging, such as MRI, CT, or angiography, is carried out to locate and identify the target lesion. To precisely define the treatment area in three dimensions, image fusion integrates various scan modalities.
The neurosurgeon and radiation oncologist create a radiation plan using specialized software. In order to accurately target the beams on the lesion while protecting the surrounding healthy tissue, this design calculates the radiation dose and angles.
The frame of the treatment couch is attached to the radiosurgery machine while the patient lies on it. In order to converge on the target, several narrow beams of concentrated radiation (like Gamma Knife or LINAC) are supplied from various angles. Throughout this often brief treatment, which can take anywhere from 30 minutes to several hours, the patient is kept awake and under observation.
Accuracy is ensured throughout treatment by motion monitoring and continual image guidance. The majority of patients return to their regular activities shortly after treatment, frequently the next day.
In the months that follow, routine follow-up imaging is carried out to evaluate the effectiveness of the treatment and schedule any further treatments that may be required.

Focused radiation treatment can be used to treat patients with trigeminal neuralgia or other neurological functioning disorders that are not improving with medication.
patients with lesions in important brain regions where surgery would be dangerous or inappropriate.
Those with good overall health, a reasonable life expectancy, and managed systemic disease such as brain metastases are ideal candidates.
Instead of treating individuals with widespread disease, SRS works better for those with a small number of brain metastases (usually up to 3–4).
By delivering focused high-dose radiation without requiring surgical incisions, SRS lowers the risk of infection and hospital stays.
SRS precisely targets cancers or lesions while minimizing side effects and protecting surrounding healthy tissue by using several converging radiation beams and sophisticated imaging.
usually finished in a single session or up to three to five sessions, enabling patients to avoid the drawn-out treatment regimens associated with traditional radiation.
useful for malignancies in eloquent or deep brain regions where surgery is impractical or dangerous.
SRS helps preserve neurological function and quality of life by reducing radiation exposure to healthy brain tissue.
Due to SRS’s low invasiveness and outpatient nature, patients frequently return to their regular activities soon after treatment.
For small to medium-sized tumors, AVMs, and functional problems, SRS provides excellent local control that is frequently on par with surgical results.
less adverse effects than open surgery or traditional whole-brain radiation, such as fatigue, nausea, or hair loss.
Convenience and efficacy can be increased by treating many tumors or targets in one session.
