Stereotactic Radiation Therapy

Stereotactic Radiation Therapy (SRT) is a specialized treatment that uses precise, high-dose radiation beams to target tumors or other abnormalities in the body, often in the brain. This technique allows doctors to deliver accurate radiation while minimizing damage to surrounding healthy tissues. SRT typically involves fewer treatment sessions compared to traditional radiation therapy, making it convenient for patients. It's commonly used for conditions such as cancer, vascular malformations, or functional disorders. The advancements in imaging technology enable real-time monitoring, ensuring the treatment is precisely focused on the intended area for maximum effectiveness.
