| Summary: | Hospital Universiti Sains Malaysia (HUSM) is credited as one of the very first centres to offer radiosurgical services in the country. Up until February 2011, a total of 167 patients have received stereotactic radiosurgery and stereotactic radiotherapy treatment for a wide spectrum of neurosurgical conditions. Radiosurgery services in USM commenced in 2001 with the purchase
of a medical linear accelerator (Siemens, Primus)
complimented by treatment cones, head rings,
localiser system and a workstation for planning
from Radionics. The Stereotactic Radiosurgery
(SRS) service in USM proved to be a vital one with
patients being referred to us from all corners of
the country including from East Malaysia (1,2). |
