The articles in this volume cover the various radiosurgical techniques used to treat benign and malignant intracranial tumors, cavernous malformations, and functional disorders, as well as a wide array of specific details on medical physics, neuroimaging, and anesthetic support. Particular emphasis is put on the optimal combination of microneurosurgery and radiosurgery for attaining the best functional results in patients with vestibular schwannomas, craniopharyngiomas, and pituitary adenomas, and on the most effective methods of treatment planning and radiation dosimetry in cases of metastatic brain tumors. The highlighted clinical aspects include indications for radiosurgery and the prediction of patients? prognosis, along with analysis of outcomes in comparison with results achieved by other modalities in the context of multifaceted therapeutic strategies. In addition, possible options for applying advanced treatment using such modern devices as Leksell Gamma Knife PerfexionTM and IconTM are presented in depth. This information will interest both radiosurgical practitioners and neurosurgeons, and help them to provide optimal care and to achieve the greatest benefit of their patients. This book will serve as an excellent companion for the previous publication ?Gamma Knife Neurosurgery in the Management of Intracranial Disorders? (Acta Neurochirurgica Supplement, Volume 116, Springer, 2013).
Dr. Mikhail Chernov completed his medical education (The First Leningrad Pavlov Medical University, 1989) and neurosurgical training (Russian Polenov Neurosurgical Institute, 1995) in St. Petersburg, Russia. In 2000 he became a clinical and research fellow in the Department of Neurosurgery of the Tokyo Women’s Medical University, and in 2006 obtained a Doctor of Medical Sciences degree and became assistant professor in the Faculty of Advanced Techno-Surgery of the same institution. He has written over 140 scientific papers, served as editor-in-chief of several books, including Acta Neurochirurgica Supplement Volume 116 “Gamma Knife Neurosurgery in the Management of Intracranial Gliomas” (Springer, 2013), and as Executive Director of the Asian Gamma Knife Academy, member of the WFNS Radiosurgery Sub-Committee, ex officio board member of the International Stereotactic Radiosurgery Society, and chairman of its Education Committee.
Dr. Motohiro Hayashi graduated from the School of Medicine, Gunma University in 1991. Thereafter, he started neurosurgical training in the Department of Neurosurgery of the Tokyo Women’s Medical University (TWMU). Between 1999 and 2001, he visited Timone University Hospital (Marseille, France), obtained the official French neurosurgical diploma (D’AFSA de Neurochirurgie), and completed training in stereotactic radiosurgery. In 2002, he returned to the same department of TWMU, and has become clinical and research assistant professor (2006), and subsequently assistant professor and director of the Gamma Knife Unit. His experience includes >10,600 cases of Gamma Knife surgery. He has published over 200 papers on stereotactic radiosurgery, and given over 350 conference presentations. He is the founder of the Asian Gamma Knife Training Program (currently, Asian Gamma Knife Academy), and has also been a member of the WFNS Radiosurgery Sub-Committee, former board member of the International Stereotactic Radiosurgery Society (ISRS), and
