About
Jun Thorsteinsdottir is a leading neurosurgeon and researcher specializing in the radiosurgical treatment of complex intracranial pathologies, particularly meningiomas and arteriovenous malformations (AVMs). Her work addresses the formidable challenges of treating tumors involving critical structures like the superior sagittal sinus, where conventional microsurgery carries significant risks. In her highly cited 2023 study on meningiomas of the SSS, Thorsteinsdottir demonstrated that robotic radiosurgery offers a safe and effective alternative for both primary and recurrent cases, providing long-term outcomes that inform therapeutic decision-making. Her 2021 investigation into MRI-based CyberKnife radiosurgery for cerebral AVMs is equally impactful, establishing that frameless, non-invasive planning can achieve excellent results without the need for traditional stereotactic angiography. With over a decade of focused clinical research, her work has garnered substantial attention, accumulating dozens of citations that underscore its influence on modern neurosurgical practice. Thorsteinsdottir’s contributions are pivotal in advancing minimally invasive, image-guided treatments, offering new hope for patients with previously inoperable or high-risk lesions.
