ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for performing stereotactic radiosurgery using a stationary radiation source is comprised of a frame, a platform rotatably connected to the frame about a vertical rotational axis, a patient receiving menas, a means for rotating the platform and a means for adjusting the head of the patient to permit intersection of the radiation beam central axis with the vertical rotational axis at the location of the target site that is the subject of the radiosurgery. A method for performing stereotactic radiosurgery using the apparatus is also provided.
