Résumé

Stereotactic body radiotherapy uses the principle of 3-dimensional localization of a target to deliver a high dose of radiation to a precise location. The aim of this technique is to ablate tissue noninvasively. Because of its high precision and target conformity, it can deliver a high dose of radiation to a specific area in a tissue without significantly affecting nearby tissues. It is being actively studied and even used in therapy for atrial fibrillation and ventricular tachycardia.
