Stereotactic Radiosurgery and Fractionated Radiosurgery

Stereotactic Radiosurgery
A technique using programmed single doses of radiation delivered through multiple narrow moving beams to treat brain tumors. Treatment radiation beams target the tissue in ultra-precise fashion with accuracy tighter than 1 millimeter.

Stereotactic “Fractionated” Radiosurgery
Technically similar to stereotactic radiosurgery but instead of a single dose the treatment course is divided into multiple smaller doses or fractions given daily over several weeks.
