TREATABLE CONDITIONS

The Gamma Knife is known as the gold standard in radiosurgery and is used in the treatment of a variety of brain tumors and vascular malformations. It offers non-invasive treatment for many inoperable brain lesions and a safer alternative to patients who are too old or medically unfit to undergo open surgery.

In many clinical situations however, the Gamma Knife works in combination with open surgery to achieve the best cure and clinical outcome.

Gamma Knife is used to treat the following conditions:

1. Arteriovenous Malformations
2. Acoustic Neuroma
