9 Preface The International Stereotactic Radiosurgery Society represents a community of colleagues across the world. The 6th meeting of the society was held in Kyoto, Japan, under the stewardship of Prof. Kintomo Takakura and Dr. Masaaki Yamamoto. Dr. David Larson ended his two-year term as ISRS President. The meeting included attendees from all over the world and represented the disciplines of neurosurgery, radiation oncology, medical physics, radiology, oncology, and neurology. The tranquil setting of the Kyoto Conference Center provided a forum for collegiality, discussion, and debate. The 2005 meeting will be held in Brussels, Belgium. This fifth volume includes evaluations of skull base tumor radiosurgery, evaluation of new imaging techniques for radiosurgery, complication management and avoidance, new device evaluations, and extracranial approaches. The multidisciplinary nature of the field remains strong as society members continue to evaluate and share their results. The ISRS remains the only society to embrace all of the different aspects of clinical and research radiosurgery. We remain indebted to our publisher, S. Karger AG, and in particular Angela Weber, for their work on this volume. Douglas Kondziolka IX
