Gamma Knife Radiosurgery
Gamma Knife Radiosurgery is a minimally invasive procedure that uses highly focused radiation to treat brain tumors and other abnormal brain tissue. Gamma Knife radiosurgery is an accurate, effective, safe, and repeatable treatment that can be used on small and large lesions, both benign and malignant. The radiation beams are so precisely targeted that attacks the affected tissue with minimal damage to the surrounding healthy tissue. This radio-surgical technique has revolutionized treatment of brain tumors, vascular malformations, and other disorders of the brain, making it possible to achieve more consistent, effective results with fewer side effects than with traditional surgical techniques. Gamma Knife radiosurgery is increasingly being used to treat a wide range of neurosurgical, neurological and other disorders. It is a safe, non-invasive alternative to open brain surgery, offering the potential for relief of symptoms and improved quality of life.
