Comparison of radiosurgery planning modalities for acoustic neuroma with regard to conformity and mean target dose.

abstract：BACKGROUND/AIMS:There are reports that microelectrode recording (MER) can be performed under certain anesthetized conditions for functional confirmation of the optimal deep brain stimulation (DBS) target. However, it is generally accepted that anesthesia affects MER. Due to a potential role of local field potentials (L...
