3 Purpose Define Stereotactic Radiosurgery Discuss specifics of Gamma Knife radiosurgery- 4c/Perfexion Review clinical indications and our experience at the Illinois Gamma Knife Center Discuss competing indications for GKRS (Proton Beam Therapy)
4 Stereotactic Radiosurgery SINGLE FRACTION High dose Small volume High conformality Excludes sensitive structures Exclusively CRANIAL Exclusively FRAME- BASED OLD SCHOOL DEFINITION

8 Gamma Knife Lars Leksell Swedish Neurosurgeon First developed Gamma Knife in 1968 Was a neurosurgical device that used radiation
9 Stereotaxy Implies defining a point in space relative to a Cartesian coordinate system: FRAME There are surgical instruments that use stereotaxis to locate targets in the body In radiation therapy simulation and treatment we also use stereotaxis but it is relative to a CT-generated image: PATIENT
10 Gamma Knife Radiosurgery Only exclusively frame-based intracranial system that is still used today All other radiosurgery systems are capable of frameless and extracranial indications
