註釋

Written by leading experts from the fields of neurosurgery, radiation
oncology, and medical physics, this book is the definitive reference for
clinical applications of state-of-the-art radiosurgery of the spine. It
discusses the benefits as well as the limitations of current spine radiosurgery
treatments for benign and malignant spine disorders, primary and metastatic
tumors, and spinal cord arteriovenous malformations. The opening chapters
present the essential background information on relevant spinal cord
radiobiology, physics, and technology, followed by chapters on specific
applications of spine radiosurgery covering indications, techniques, outcomes,
and possible complications.


Highlights:



  • Practical guidelines on radiosurgery target
    delineation, dose selection and escalation, patient immobilization, and
    quality assurance
