Measurement of flow of cerebrospinal fluid in shunts by transcutaneous thermal convection. Technical note.

abstract：OBJECT:Following resection of a brain metastasis, stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) to the cavity is an emerging alternative to postoperative whole-brain radiation therapy (WBRT). This approach attempts to achieve local control without the neurocognitive risks associated with WBRT. The authors aimed to report the outcome...
