Focused Radiation Treatment For A Single Brain Lesion

Iowa rates for HCPCS 61796

This treatment delivers a precisely focused, high dose of radiation to a single, straightforward abnormal area within the brain, without any surgical incision. Special imaging is used to pinpoint the exact target so that radiation is concentrated there while sparing surrounding healthy brain tissue as much as possible. It is often completed in a single session rather than the many small doses used in standard radiation therapy.
