Yes, the marketing departments of the hospitals do their best to confuse the patients over what they really offer and how it compares to other hospitals. The actual doctors don't usually have veto power over marketing ideas (which is why you see Reiki offered in otherwise reputable hospitals). But facts are facts.
There is a factual difference between the IMRT in the videos you posted and stereotactic radiation (SRS or SBRT) but it does not usually matter except for getting radiation a second (or third time) with a recurrence. I discussed this about Dr. Lee's oversimplification in her video. Maybe you are getting SRS/SBRT under a different brand name but no amount of careful IMRT can do what SRS/SBRT can do. That's why Kelly and I had Cyberknife. Here's a primer:
[quote]Other Names for Stereotactic Radiation

There is sometimes confusion about the branding of equipment separate from the terminology of SRS or SBRT. Stereotactic radiation may be delivered by a number of different devices; brand name stereotactic treatment machines you may hear mentioned include: Axesse, CyberKnife, Gamma Knife, Novalis, Primatom, Synergy, X-Knife, TomoTherapy or Trilogy. It is important not to confuse these brand names with the actual type of stereotactic radiation under consideration.
How Are These Treatments Alike?

Use multiple narrow radiation beams.
Target small, well-defined areas with precision.
Use immobilization devices or techniques that limit monitor and adjust for any movement during treatment.
Give high doses of radiation safely and accurately over just a few treatments (usually one to five sessions overall).
