    Description

    Stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) is currently the standard radiation approach for treating brain metastases. This retrospective study compared two SRS methods, single fraction (SF-SRS) and hypo-fractionated (HS-SRS), for co-primary outcomes of local control and incidence of radiation necrosis. The review included 156 consecutive patients with a combined total of 335 metastatic brain lesions treated...

    Description

    This study tested the viability of using MRI-guided transcranial focused ultrasound (MRgFUS) to modify the interstitial space in the living brain. As a non-invasive technique, success in generating spatially controlled, non-destructive changes could lead to clinical applications such as enhancing delivery of therapeutics and altering fluid and pressure dynamics. The research involved the use of computer...
