I'm not sure exactly what you are referring to, but Stereotactic radiotherapy, also known as SRT, provides radiotherapy from numerous angles around the body. The beams themselves, meet at the tumour, meaning the tumour receives a high dose of radiation and the tissues around the tumour receive a far lower dose.
