The Gamma Knife is a remarkable tool that allows neurosurgeons
to operate on abnormal areas of the brain without making an incision.
Using a technique called stereotactic radiosurgery, the Gamma
Knife is designed to precisely target and destroy abnormalities
within the skull using highly focused gamma radiation. Patients
experience minimal pain and, in most cases, can resume regular
activities the day after treatment.
Gamma
Knife treatment is not experimental. The Gamma Knife has been in
use for over 30 years, and has been used successfully to treat more
than 190,000 patients worldwide. It is one of the most advanced
techniques in the treatment of disorders affecting the brain and
its adjacent structures. It’s not surprising that the Gamma
Knife is regarded as the “gold standard” for stereotactic
radiosurgery.
