By: Lozano, Andres M (Editor), and Gildenberg, Philip L (Editor), and Tasker, Ronald

Here is a comprehensive, up-to-date view of both the underlying principles and the current practice of this highly sophisticated, minimally invasive approach to neurosurgical intervention. Coverage spans the principles of frame-based and frameless systems of stereotaxis, image guidance stereotaxis, atlases and the technical aspects of radiosurgery. Written with the contributions of leading international experts, the book includes chapter-length discussions of Movement Disorders; Cancer Pain; Treatment of Persistent Non-Cancer Pain; Evaluation of Epilepsy; Management of Epilepsy and Surgery for Psychiatric Disorders. The volume concludes with a stimulating look into the future of stereotaxis, including coming technological advances. Videos on an accompanying DVD depict the surgical procedures, demonstrated step by step.
