Forty-seven papers by doctors and other researchers discuss technical aspects of stereotactic with frames, frameless stereotactic, and stereotactic radiosurgery. Particular attention is given to the applications of stereotactic neurosurgery to movement disorders like Parkinson's disease. Chronic pain, spasticity, and epilepsy are also covered and localization techniques are detailed. The book is intended both for neurosurgeons, who may want to review the procedures, and for neurologists, who need to make referrals concerning and evaluate the results of surgical intervention.Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
