Stereotactic Radiosurgery for Residents-Neuroimaging for Radiosurgery

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The speaker begins by expressing appreciation for the opportunity to speak and describes the lively discussion that has taken place during the meeting so far. They mention that their presentation will consist of presenting cases and showing pictures, focusing on neuroimaging for AD surgery. They also touch on the difficulty of conducting randomized studies, especially in the context of surgery, and discuss the concept of pre-randomization in relevant studies. The speaker then proceeds to go through various cases, such as brain metastasis, meningioma, acoustic neuromas, trigeminal neuralgia, AVMs, pituitary tumors, and glomus tumors. They present images and discuss the treatment and considerations for each case. They also briefly mention the use of proton radiotherapy for treatment, particularly in cases of AVMs. The speaker concludes their presentation by discussing potential sources of artifacts in neuroimaging and mentioning the use of tractography in radiosurgery, specifically in the treatment of AVMs.
