All Aspects of Spine Radiosurgery Brought Together for First Time
New York/Stuttgart – The current trend in modern cancer treatment is for more focused and more targeted therapy. The development of radiation intensity modulation along with the progress of computer science has made the use of radiosurgery possible outside the brain. Spine Radiosurgery, published by Thieme, is the first book solely devoted to this topic."Spine Radiosurgery was conceived as a major resource to consolidate information on the techniques, clinical indications and outcomes, and complications of spine surgery. This book describes in detail up-to-date treatment that has not been covered by general stereotactic radiosurgery textbooks," states editor, Dr. Peter Gerszten, a pioneer in the field of spine radiosurgery.
In this authoritative text, there are more than 100 illustrations that effectively demonstrate key concepts. The book includes extensive information regarding process, dose selection as well as possible treatment and potential complications. Benefits as well as the limitations of current spine radiosurgery treatments are covered for benign and malignant spine disorders, tumors, and malformations.
Contributors include leading experts in the field, who provide insight on a variety of topics. According to Dr. Gerszten, this is the first time all aspects of spine radiosurgery have been brought together in a single book.
