Stereotactic principles are based on accurate localisation, rigid immobilisation, and on-treatment verification. The delivery of ablative doses with minimal margin and steep dose gradients requires expert multidisciplinary involvement and technology. A team with adequate subspecialty training and experience in stereotactic radiosurgery is necessary to safely deliver this treatment. For more information about quality and safety considerations see the ASTRO white paper.r
