Designed as a practical guide to linac (linear accelerator) radiosurgery, the book addresses the pertinent aspects of stereotactic treatment delivery. In recent years, there has been a massive proliferation in the number of facilities employing this method over gamma knife or particle beam technology. This book provides a hands-on guide to the methods and treatment delivery implemented by leading authorities in the field at the University of Florida.
