We utilize the advanced techniques of frameless radiosurgery for minimally invasive treatment of a variety of intracranial and spinal lesions. Radiosurgery has been proven to be a safe and effective treatment modality for a subset of metastatic brain tumors, meningiomas, vestibular schwannomas and arteriovenous malformations. Radiosurgery for the treatment of trigeminal neuralgia has also proven to be successful in a high percentage of cases.
Frameless radiosurgery has the same degree of accuracy and precision as frame based radiosurgery without the patient discomfort associated with the stereotactic head frame.
Spinal radiosurgery is also a safe and effective treatment modality for spinal tumors and other lesions throughout the spinal axis.
The goals of spinal radiosurgery are:
• Prevention of further growth of spinal tumors and avoidance of the development of spinal cord compression
• Shrinkage of already present tumors throughout the spine through non-invasive cost effective method
• Palliative treatment of spinal tumors and vascular lesions in an attempt to reduce the pain associated with the presence of these tumors throughout the spinal axis and improving the quality of life for the patient |
