STEREOTACTIC AND FUNCTIONAL NEUROSURGERY

?Stereotactic and Functional Neurosurgeryí provides a single source for the reader to keep abreast of developments in the most rapidly advancing subspecialty within neurosurgery. Technological advances in computer and graphic science are being applied to clinical problems with ever-increasing rapidity in stereotaxis more than any other field, providing opportunities for new approaches to surgical and radiotherapeutic management of diseases of the brain, spinal cord, and spine. Issues feature advances in the use of imaging-guided techniques in stereotactic biopsy and craniotomy, stereotactic radiosurgery, and stereotactically implanted and stereotactically guided radiotherapeutics and biologicals in the treatment of malignancies and other diseases of the brain. Background information from basic science laboratories related to such clinical advances provides the reader with an overall perspective of this field. Proceedings and abstracts from many of the key international meetings furnishes an overview of this specialty available nowhere else. ?Stereotactic and Functional Neuro-surgeryí meets the information needs of both investigators and clinicians in this rapidly advancing field.

《立体定向和功能性神经外科》为读者提供了一个单一的来源，以了解神经外科最快速发展的亚种的发展。计算机和图像科学的技术进步正在应用于临床问题，立体定向的速度比任何其他领域都快，为大脑、脊髓和脊柱疾病的外科和放射治疗管理提供了新的途径。在立体定向活检和开颅术、立体定向放射外科、立体定向植入和立体定向放射治疗以及治疗恶性肿瘤和其他脑部疾病的生物制剂方面，影像引导技术的应用取得了进展。基础科学实验室提供的与此类临床进展相关的背景信息为读者提供了该领域的总体视角。许多重要国际会议的会议记录和摘要概述了这一专业，其他地方都没有。《立体定向和功能性神经外科》满足这一快速发展领域的研究者和临床医师的信息需求。
