On the Akesis Gemini 360, SRS is delivered non-invasively in one to five sessions with sub-millimeter accuracy. Quick summaryBrain SRS at 5D Cancer Services treats brain metastases and select benign intracranial lesions in 1–5 painless, outpatient sessions. There are no incisions, no anesthesia, and most patients leave the same day. - Sessions: 1 (single-fraction SRS) to 5 (fractionated SRS / SRT) - Indications: brain metastases, acoustic neuroma, meningioma, AVM (select) - Sub-millimeter targeting on the Akesis Gemini 360 - Non-invasive — no frame, no anesthesia, no overnight stay - Painless; most patients return to normal activity within 24 hours - Multidisciplinary review with neurosurgery and medical oncology when indicatedLast reviewed: 2026-05-12 ## What is brain SRS? Stereotactic radiosurgery is not actually surgery — there is no incision. It is a highly focused radiation treatment that delivers an ablative dose to a small intracranial target in one (single-fraction SRS) to five (fractionated SRT) sessions. The Akesis Gemini 360 uses thin-slice imaging and a custom thermoplastic mask to immobilize the head, then delivers each treatment with sub-millimeter precision while sparing healthy brain tissue around the target. ## What SRS is used for - Brain metastases (single, oligometastatic, or multiple lesions) - Acoustic neuroma (vestibular schwannoma) - Meningioma — including small or surgically inaccessible cases - Pituitary adenoma - Trigeminal neuralgia (select cases) - Arteriovenous malformations (AVM) in collaboration with neurosurgery ## What to expect on a treatment day You'll be fitted into your custom mask, positioned on the treatment table, and imaged so the system can confirm sub-millimeter alignment. The radiation itself is silent and painless and takes only a few minutes; the full appointment is typically 45–60 minutes. Most patients drive themselves home and return to normal activity within 24 hours. ## Coordination with your other doctors Brain SRS decisions are made jointly with your neurosurgeon and medical oncologist.
