American Radiosurgery

How stereotactic radiosurgery treats the brain without a cut, what it can and cannot do, and what the day in the frame is actually like.
Gamma Knife radiosurgery, from the first scan to the years of follow-up.

Patient forum

A small board for people who have had stereotactic radiosurgery and people still waiting for their date. The frame, the treatment morning, and the long stretch of follow-up scans all get talked through here in patients' own words. Nothing posted is medical guidance, and threads lock automatically two months after the last reply.

The day in the frame

Frame fittings, the hours on the couch, and getting home after.

Scans and the long wait

Follow-up MRIs, slow results, and the months in between.
