Central Neurosurgery :: Radiosurgery
http://centralneurosurgery.com.au/index.php/surgery-information/radiosurgery
This information is of a general nature only. Please consult your doctor for specific advice concerning your condition. What is stereotactic radiosurgery? Radiosurgery is the use of sophisticated technology to identify a target (usually a brain tumour) and apply a 3 dimensional dose of radiation precisely to that target (within an accuracy of around 1 mm). It is an alternative to standard open surgery in some patients. If the treatment uses radiation, and not a scalpel, why it is called radiosurgery?

Central Neurosurgery :: Intraoperative MRI
http://centralneurosurgery.com.au/index.php/surgery-information/intraoperative-mri
In 2011 for the first time a Randomized Controlled Trial (these are the best type of evidence to support a treatment) was published comparing the completeness of resection when using an intraoperative MRI compared to resections without the MRI(1). Patients undergoing surgery with intraoperative MRI had complete resection 96% of the time, compared to only 68% in the standard operative group. There was no increased risk of neurological problems associated with the more complete resection. Stereotactic radi...

Central Neurosurgery :: Meningioma
http://centralneurosurgery.com.au/index.php/neurosurgical-conditions/meningioma
Meningiomas are generally benign (not cancerous) tumours that arise from the linings of the brain (meninges). Less commonly they arise from the linings of the spine or even within the fluid space (ventricles) of the brain. MRI and CT scan findings. Meningiomas tend to be easily distinguished from other brain tumours on CT and MRI since they can be seen to arise from the brain membranes. Rarely some other tumours (including some malignant tumours) can be mistaken for meningiomas. However- as an individual...
