What is the general application of SRS procedures?

Stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) is a specialized form of radiation therapy primarily used for delivering precisely targeted high doses of radiation to brain lesions while minimizing damage to surrounding healthy tissues. This technique is particularly effective for conditions such as brain tumors, arteriovenous malformations, and certain neurological disorders. SRS involves the use of advanced imaging techniques to accurately localize the treatment target, allowing for highly focused radiation beams that can be delivered in a single session or a few sessions.

In contrast, while options such as treating lung lesions, breast cancer, and joint pain relief may involve other forms of radiotherapy or therapeutic interventions, they do not fall under the specific and predominant application of stereotactic radiosurgery. SRS remains a cornerstone in the treatment of brain lesions, making it the most appropriate choice in this context.
