Stereotactic Radiosurgery is a revolution in the management of brain tumors, facial pain, and cerebral vascular malformations. Its use now far exceeds the number of craniotomies performed on a yearly basis, and the potential for future growth is also significant given its expanded indications, such as substance abuse, obesity, and depression. A participant in this webinar will be able to understand the history, growth, current indications, and future uses of this extremely safe and effective technology.
This webinar is sponsored by Advocate Healthcare.
