| Location: | University of Pittsburgh, Center for Image-Guided Neurosurgery, United States |
| Description: |
Objective To obtain knowledge about the practical aspects of stereotactic radiosurgery using Leksell Gamma Knife. Principles of radiation physics and radiobiology, that apply to single-session, focused, small volume irradiation will be covered. Registrants should be able to create radiosurgery dose plans for brain tumors, vascular malformations and trigeminal neuralgia. Content ■ Principles and practice of stereotaxy and radiosurgery ■ Principles of frame application ■ Patient selection and teaching cases ■ Clinical program with lectures covering established indications for Gamma Knife surgery ■ Observation of patient treatments ■ Medical physics, basic radiobiology and radiation safety ■ Hands-on sessions with relevant version of Leksell GammaPlan® ■ Hands-on sessions with relevant Leksell Gamma Knife model Training center and duration 5-day course at University of Pittsburgh, Center for Image-Guided Neurosurgery, PA, USA. Find information regarding CME Credits on http://www.neurosurgery.pitt.edu/training/gamma_knife.html#cme.
Target group ■ Neurosurgeons ■ Radiation Oncologists ■ Medical Physicists ■ Otologists ■ Nurses ■ Other clinical neuroscience providers
