Stereotactic Radiosurgery
Stereotactic Radiosurgery (SRS) is a non-invasive medical procedure that uses focused radiation beams to treat tumors and other abnormalities in the brain and spine. It delivers high doses of radiation precisely to the targeted area while minimizing exposure to surrounding healthy tissue. This technique is often used for conditions like brain tumors, vascular malformations, and functional disorders.
The procedure typically involves imaging techniques, such as MRI or CT scans, to accurately locate the target. Patients usually undergo SRS as an outpatient procedure, meaning they can return home the same day. Recovery is generally quick, with many patients experiencing minimal side effects.
