Abstract
During the period of one year, from the 21. 4. 1992 to 21. 4. 1993, a total of 201 radiosurgical sessions on 181 patients were performed with the first Austrian Gamma-unit in Graz. 42% of radiosurgical sessions were undertaken for malignomas, 20% for meningiomas, 11.5% for vascular malformations, 9% for neurinomas, 8.5% for low grade astrocytomas and glomus jugulare tumours, 5% for sellar and suprasellar lesions, and 4% for functional disorders. Dose plan data for all the lesions treated are shown. Clinical and imaging data of the first year which are available for 120 patients (66%) are presented and discussed.
