1. Positioning and Immobilization<\/h3>

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.<\/p><\/div><\/div>

2. Target Localization and Imaging<\/h3>

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.<\/p><\/div><\/div>

3. Planning for Treatment<\/h3>

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.<\/p><\/div><\/div>

4. Delivery of Radiation<\/h3>

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.<\/p><\/div><\/div>

5. Observation and Recuperation<\/h3>

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.<\/p><\/div><\/div>

6. Follow-up<\/h3>

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.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
