Brain tumors, blood vessel issues, and some nervous system conditions are very difficult to address with a scalpel.Stereotactic radiosurgery may be used to treat some of these problems.he three main kinds of treatments in stereotactic radiosurgery that use different equipment are: 1  Gamma Knife: Close to 200 beams of highly focused gamma radiation are aimed at a target region (i.e. tumor). 2  This is used mostly for small to medium-sized brain and/or head and neck abnormalities.
