Spine Radiosurgery is a valuable resource for radiation oncologists, neurosurgeons, oncologists, orthopedic surgeons and other health-care personnel who are interested in learning more about spine radiosurgery.

Every chapter is described in detail with beautiful illustrations and precise tables. The statistical graphs are elegant and easy to understand. This book is detailed enough to supply every basic information on spinal radiosurgery, and the chapters are briefly summarized in 158 pages, which is short enough to facilitate reading for interested health-care personnel.
