title: Radiation physics.
abstract: Because radiosurgery requires the highest precision, it should be undertaken only with a team approach and with built-in redundance to avoid errors. All members of radiosurgical teams must understand the dosimetric tools. This article presents the terms and principles of medical physics used in radiosurgery and points out possible pitfalls.
