Changes in the cerebrospinal fluid pulse wave spectrum associated with raised intracranial pressure.

abstract：OBJECTIVE:Stereotactic radiosurgery requires the highest degree of accuracy in target identification and localization. When targeting paraspinal lesions, the CyberKnife radiosurgical system (Accuray, Inc., Sunnyvale, CA) uses implanted stainless steel fiducials. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the total syste...
