This is one option for the CT Therapy Certificate’s required Supplement.
The stereotactic approach to treating brain lesions has become a standard in many institutions due to the availability of treatment and immobilization options, as well as the superior patient outcomes from the therapy. This quick self study (QSS) will provide a background to the development of SRS and SRT treatments historically, guidelines for patient selection and will illustrate different proprietary devices available. Planning and treatment examples will be provided as well as examples of department and patient pathways. Upon completion of this QSS, students should have a basic understanding of immobilization, department requirements and basic planning for this therapy.
