  Radiotherapy is a versatile tool used in the treatment of various types of benign and malignant neoplasms. However, conventional radiation therapy for cancerous conditions often results in collateral damage to healthy tissues due to involvement of oversized radiation fields. Over the last decade one type of precision based radiation treatment has developed. This new treatment, known as Stereotactic Radiosurgery (SRS), involves highly accurate beams of high-energy radiation that are used to destroy abnormal cells by permanently damaging their DNA. As technology progressed stereotactic cranial radiosurgery developed into a successful method for certain tumorous conditions of the head and skull. The success of stereotactic cranial radiosurgery led to further radiation application research to widen the spectrum of treatable conditions to include those located extracranially. The result of..
