How to avoid and manage complications in stereotactic radiosurgery? The most current and exciting developments as well as essential findings on refinements are published in this new volume. It addresses topics such as benign and malignant tumor radiosurgery, trigeminal neuralgia and headache, spectroscopic imaging, new hardware assessments, extracranial radiosurgery, and vascular malformations. The high-quality peer-reviewed reports were presented by experts in their field at the 2003 meeting of the International Stereotactic Radiosurgery Society.
This publication is of special interest to neurosurgeons, radiation oncologists, medical physicists, neurologists, and oncologists, who require precise information to keep up to date with the important developments on the use of stereotactic radiosurgery

Abstract
The term of radiosurgery signifies any kind of single application of ionizing radiationenergy, in experimental biology or clinical medicine, aiming at the precise and completedestruction of chosen target structures containing healthy and/or pathological cells, withoutsignificant concomitant or late radiation damage to adjacent tissues. The goal of this radiosurgical pathology study is to explore the short- and long-term effects of high-dose ionizingradiation on neural tissue and its pathologies with histological, electron-microscopical, tissue culture and biological-biochemical methods. Radiosurgical pathology focuses its scope andmicroscope for histological, cell, genetic and molecular changes in the human body and experimental animals, or in tissue cultures and other in vitro experiments, generated by the ionizing radiation delivered from radiosurgical devices.
