Stereotactic Radiosurgery Stereotactic radiotherapy (also called
stereotaxy) is a type of minimally invasive surgical
intervention. It uses radiation treatment to deliver a large and
precise radiation dose to the tumor area in a single session.
This type of surgery applies a three-dimensional coordinates
system to locate small targets inside the body. With the help of
gamma knife, radiation beams are focused at the tumor from
various angles for a short period of time. Stereotactic
radiosurgery (SRS) can be performed by several other machines
such as X-Knife, CyberKnife and Clinac. It is used to treat
brain tumors and other brain disorders that are difficult to be
treated by regular surgery. This type of surgery works under
three main components. The first one is stereotactic planning
system; it includes multimodality image matching tools. The
stereotactic atlas is a series of cross sections of anatomical
structure. In most atlases, the three dimensions are
