  2. About Gamma Knife Surgery • The most preferred radio surgerydiagnosis for brain tumors, malformations and brain dysfunctions is Gamma Knife Surgery. As the name shows, the Gamma Knife is actually not a knife, but a machine that directs 192 beams of highly focused cobalt gamma radiation to destroy brain tumors and dysfunctions. • Gamma knife surgery is a non-invasive treatment for treating brain diseases. Gamma knife surgery is surgery without opening of the skull and uses gamma rays to destroy lesions in the brain. The gamma rays are precisely aimed in such a way that maximum concentration of radiation is directed at the diseased part of the brain while the surrounding tissue remains unharmed. Gamma Knife is the only feasible treatment modality in several neurosurgical cases.

  3. How does Gamma Knife radio surgery work? • A Gamma Knife procedure involves a treatment team approach. The treatment team generally includes a radiation oncologist (a physician specializing in radiation treatment for cancer), a neurosurgeon and/or a neuro radiologist, a radiation therapist, and a registered nurse. In addition, a medical physicist and a dosimetrist work together to calculate the precise number of exposures and beam placement necessary to obtain the radiation dose that is prescribed by the radiation oncologist. Your treatment team may include other healthcare professionals in addition to or in place of those listed here. • The Gamma Knife system is one of three types of radio surgery systems. Gamma Knife systems are cobalt 60 systems, which means they use cobalt as a source for gamma rays. During Gamma Knife treatment, the equipment remains stationary (does not move).

  4. Why Gamma Knife Surgery is done? Gamma Knife radio surgery is often an appropriate alternative to standard brain surgery (neurosurgery), which requires incisions in the skull, membranes surrounding the brain and brain tissue. Gamma Knife radio surgery is usually performed when: • A tumor or other abnormality in the brain is too hard to reach with standard neurosurgery • A person is not healthy enough to undergo normal surgery • A person chooses a less invasive treatment Gamma Knife surgery is most commonly used to treat the following conditions: • Brain tumor • Arteriovenous malformation (AVM) • Trigeminal neuralgia • Acoustic neuroma • Pituitary tumors

  5.
