Gamma Knife Technology
Since 1968, worldwide use of the Gamma Knife has expanded
treatment options for thousands of adult and pediatric patients
with brain disorders.
The Gamma Knife is a stereotactic radiosurgical instrument
that delivers a single high dose of precisely focused radiation,
through the intact skull, to a small and critically located
intracranial volume. With pinpoint accuracy, 201 beams of
cobalt-60 radiation arrest or reduce tissue growth by distorting
the DNA mapping of the cells.
