Linear accelerators are widely used for stereotactic radiosurgery and stereotactic radiotherapy. The procedure of stereotactic irradiation involves precise localization of a small intracranial lesion and delivery of single fraction of high doses (SRS) or fractionated treatment (SRT) using multiple c...
