Suggestions to minimise operational cost of SRT

a)	Trying to keep it single session treatment wherever possible to minimize hospital stay, transportation charges, and machine time.
b)	Limiting MRI sequences as per requirement by making adequate protocols.
c)	Keeping templates for SRS planning of solitary lesions to reduce planning time in TPS.
d)	Collaborating with nearby non-SRS centers to increase patient numbers to make it financially viable under schemes.
e)	Frame-less treatment, use of a single layer (instead of 3 layered brain lab mask) thermoplastic devices in experienced hands can be useful.
f)	An increasing number of treatment centers by encouraging government subsidy on treatment machines.
g)	Careful selection of patients (not to be over enthusiastic in borderline indications)
