Abstract

Gamma knife surgery is a complementary procedure to open microsurgery for several indications. However, post-treatment symptomatic complaints are common and often result in short-term follow up imaging. Here we evaluate the efficacy of repeat brain imaging within 30 days of a gamma knife procedure by analyzing the frequency with which that imaging reveals addressable pathology.
