Gamma Knife
Gamma Knife is a medical device used for treating brain tumors and other neurological conditions. It delivers precise doses of gamma radiation to targeted areas in the brain, minimizing damage to surrounding healthy tissue. This non-invasive procedure is often preferred for patients who may not be suitable for traditional surgery.
The treatment typically involves a single session, where the patient wears a special frame to keep their head still. Radiation oncologists carefully plan the treatment using advanced imaging techniques, ensuring accuracy. Many patients experience fewer side effects and a quicker recovery compared to conventional surgical methods.
