In contrast to conventional microsurgery, stereotactic radiosurgery has an advantage in the treatment of intracranial masses, avoiding severe complications associated with open surgery. In rare cases, the use of the method is associated with the development of radiation-induced injuries, one of which is radiation necrosis (RN). This is a late complication of radiosurgery, developing mainly 6 months after radiation exposure. The neurological manifestations of this complication depend on location, and the clinical picture is very diverse. The method of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with intravenous contrast enhancement is quite often the first link in neuroimaging, which helps to suggest the presence of this complication based on the X-ray picture and to clarify the location of changes.We presented the experience of radiation necrosis treatment in a 47-year-old patient who was referred to our department with a diagnosis of frontal meningioma. The patient underwent stereotactic radiosurgical treatment using the Elekta Leksell Gamma Knife Perfextion device, and 6 months later the gradual deterioration began, the patient complained of headache, nausea; central prosoparesis developed. Considering the clinical picture and control MRI data, the changes were interpreted as radionecrosis. In order to control the complication, the patient underwent standard glucocroticosteroid therapy, supplemented by hyperbaric oxygenation (HBO), which made it possible to achieve regression of the adverse clinical and radiological manifestations of the complication. Thus, on a clinical example, it was demonstrated that the combined use of glucocorticosteroids and HBOs is highly effective in the treatment of RN.

Micro-SXRF (Synchrotron X-ray Fluorescence) or micro-SRIXE (Synchrotron Radiation Induced X-ray Emission) is a microanalytical technique which combines the sensitivity of more conventional microchemical methods such as Secondary Ion Microscopy (SIMS) and μ-PIXE (Proton Induced X-ray Emission) with the non-destructive and quantitative character of X-ray fluorescence analysis. The detection limits attainable at current SXRF-facilities are situated in the ppm (and in favourable cases the sub-ppm) range. The sensitivity of SRIXE can be used advantageously in individual particle analysis. This type of analysis is used, e.g., for studying sources of athmospheric pollution. Analysis of standard NIST micro-spheres at the NSLS-SRIXE facility yielded minimum detection limits in the 1 to 100 ppm range for particle sizes of around 10 to 30 μm.An interesting approach to individual particle characterisation is by means of electron microprobe analysis (EPMA). By using the backscattered electron signals, in an automated fashion, particles can be easily located on a filter substrate and their size and shape determined.
