... to the gradient of dose heterogeneity within the target volume. Conclusions: Dose distribution inside the target volume could influence the histological effects of radiosurgical irradiation on tissue included in the target. A high dose in the target volume is more likely to lead to the desired radiobiological...

... of stereotactic radiosurgery; however, pathological correlates are limited. High resolution neurodiagnostic imaging provides the best quality control available to assess the response to stereotactic radiosurgery. In the future, additional molecular probes are necessary to assess the radiobiological effects...
