For neurosurgeons, radiation oncologists, and medical physicists, Lunsford (neurological surgery, U. of Pittsburgh) and Sheehan (neurological surgery and radiation oncology, U. of Virginia) assemble 20 articles that describe current techniques for radiosurgery of the brain. Introductory chapters discuss history, radiobiology, and neuropathology of radiosurgery, followed by procedures for diseases such as arteriovenous malformations and fistulas, cavernomas, meningiomas, pituitary adenomas, trigeminal neuralgia, vestibular and nonvestibular schwannomas, movement disorders, epilepsy, ocular disorders, pediatric brain tumors, and brain metastases. Each details the benefits and limitations of radiosurgical techniques, outcomes, possible complications and their management, and alternative treatments. Contributors work in neurosurgery, oncology, neurology, radiation medicine, and neuroradiology in North America, Europe, and Singapore. Annotation ©2009 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
