Current Research Interests
Dr. Murovic is a member of the Stanford University Medical Center (SUMC) CyberKnife Radiosurgery (CK RS) Treatment Center at the Stanford Cancer Center and at Blake Wilbur. She helps to co-ordinate the patients' CK RS treatments. She is also Co-Protocol Director of a new Stanford Cancer Center trial which is evaluating the outcomes of patients with 1-3 versus 4 or more brain tumor metastases after treatment with CK RS. She is currently preparing a chapter on the CK RS treatment of brain tumor metastases. In the Neurosurgery Spine laboratory she has been studying the incidence of spinal adjacent segment disease after traditional cervical fusions.
Dr. Murovic has also been involved in collaborative efforts with Dr. Kline at the Louisiana State University Health Sciences Center in past years involving the analysis of peripheral nerves and their injuries. This research has been included in the 2nd edition of Nerve Injury by Dr. Kline and Hudson of which she is one of the co-authors.
