STEREOTACTIC EXTERNAL-BEAM RADIATION

Meaning of STEREOTACTIC EXTERNAL-BEAM RADIATION in English

A radiation therapy technique for brain tumors that uses a rigid head frame attached to the skull. The frame is used to help aim high-dose radiation beams directly at the tumors and not at normal brain tissue. This procedure does not involve surgery. Also called stereotactic radiation therapy, stereotactic radiosurgery, and stereotaxic radiosurgery.
