When was stereotactic radiosurgery developed?
Stereotactic radiosurgery was first invented in 1950 through the joint efforts of Lars Leksell, a Swedish neurosurgeon, and Börje Larsson, a physicist at the Karolinska Hospital and Institute in Stockholm, Sweden. Dr. Leksell continued his extensive research and experimentation with stereotactic radiosurgery and finally created an instrument that could deliver such a precise dose of radiation.
