Abstract

Stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) allows for precise delivery of ablative radiation doses to intracranial targets. Often delivered as a single fraction, but inclusive of treatments of up to five fractions, SRS relies on fundamental principles of physics and radiobiology in order to deliver safe and effective treatments. Understanding these principles, and the factors involved, is critical to protecting the normal brain, optic pathway, auditory apparatus, and other structures. In this chapter we provide a comprehensive review of the normal tissue tolerances for single fraction SRS, in order to better inform treatment decisions and clinical practice.
