The clinical quality standards for outpatient gamma knife radiosurgery as developed in the German Gamma Knife Center Munich during the last ten years are described. The following aspects have been taken into account: appropriate patient selection, standardised treatment cycle, acquisition of high-quality stereotactic MR images, the integrated therapeutic concept, dose conformity and dose level, patient follow-up, quality control and scientific data analysis. Particular emphasis has been put on the importance of the interdisciplinary treatment concept by subspecialised experts. The results of the Munich concept in consideration of the described quality standards verifies that gamma knife radiosurgery is a safe and effective treatment option for well selected indications.
