Description
The Gamma Knife Radiosurgery System is an advanced, non-invasive radiation therapy platform specifically designed for treating brain tumors, vascular malformations, and functional neurological disorders with sub-millimeter precision. Using highly focused gamma radiation, it delivers a single high-dose treatment to targeted areas while preserving surrounding healthy brain tissue.
Key Features:
-
- Sub-Millimeter Accuracy for Targeted Brain Treatments:
- Delivers highly precise gamma radiation beams to the affected area without affecting nearby tissue.
- Ideal for treating small, well-defined brain lesions with surgical precision.
- Non-Invasive, Outpatient Procedure:
- No incisions, anesthesia, or prolonged hospital stays required.
- Most patients return to normal activities within a day.
- High-Dose Radiation in a Single Session:
- Treatment is typically completed in one outpatient session, unlike traditional radiotherapy.
- Reduces the need for multiple visits, improving patient convenience.
- Frame-Based Immobilization for Stability & Precision:
- Uses a specialized stereotactic head frame to ensure absolute accuracy.
- Prevents patient movement for the most precise radiation delivery.
- Multi-Beam Gamma Radiation for Maximum Effectiveness:
- Utilizes 192-201 precisely focused gamma beams to target the lesion from multiple angles.
- Radiation is concentrated at the treatment site while minimizing exposure to surrounding tissues.
- Real-Time Imaging & Treatment Planning:
- MRI & CT-guided treatment planning ensures the most accurate dose distribution.
- Personalized treatment approach tailored to each patient’s condition.
- Minimal Side Effects & Faster Recovery:
- Lower risk of complications compared to open brain surgery.
- Reduced neurological impact due to focused radiation delivery.
- Alternative for Inoperable or High-Risk Brain Conditions:
- Ideal for patients who are not candidates for conventional surgery due to tumor location or medical condition.
- Used in cases where traditional surgical intervention poses excessive risk.
- Sub-Millimeter Accuracy for Targeted Brain Treatments:
Applications:
-
- Brain Tumors: Effective for treating benign and malignant tumors, including metastases, meningiomas, and acoustic neuromas.
- Arteriovenous Malformations (AVMs): Non-invasive treatment for abnormal blood vessel tangles in the brain.
- Trigeminal Neuralgia: Provides long-lasting pain relief by precisely targeting the trigeminal nerve.
- Parkinson’s Disease & Essential Tremor: Targeted lesioning of brain regions responsible for movement disorders.
- Recurrent & Inoperable Brain Lesions: Alternative for patients who are not candidates for traditional brain surgery.
