Gamma Knife Radiosurgery
Cutting-edge Technology for Brain Disorders
Gamma Knife radiosurgery: Delivered with surgical precision
What is Gamma Knife Radiosurgery?
Gamma Knife is a non-invasive, cutting-edge technology used to treat brain disorders without the need for traditional open surgery. It uses highly focused gamma rays to precisely target and treat areas within the brain, providing an effective, safe, and less painful alternative for patients with various conditions.
Key Benefits:
- Non-invasive: No incisions, no scars
- Outpatient Procedure: Many patients return home the same day
- Quick Recovery: Minimal downtime, allowing you to return to your normal activities faster
- Precision: Designed to treat even the most delicate areas in the brain
Conditions Treated
- Brain tumors (benign and malignant)
- Arteriovenous malformations (AVMs)
- Acoustic neuroma (vestibular schwannomas)
- Meningiomas
- Pituitary adenomas
- Trigeminal neuralgia
- Brain metastases
- Chondrosarcomas and Chordomas
- Craniopharyngiomas
- Gliomas
- Paragangliomas
- Cavernous hemangiomas
- Certain cases of epilepsy
Treatment Process
1. Frame Fixation
A lightweight frame is attached to the patient's head to ensure precise targeting during treatment.
2. MRI Imaging
Detailed MRI scans are taken to create a 3D map of the brain and precisely locate the treatment area.
3. Treatment Planning
Our team of experts uses advanced software to create a personalized treatment plan based on the MRI images.
4. Treatment Delivery
The patient lies comfortably while the Gamma Knife device delivers precise radiation beams to the target area.
Our experienced team will guide you through each step, ensuring your comfort and understanding throughout the process.
