Leksell Gamma Knife

The Leksell Gamma Knife is a specialized medical device used to treat brain tumors, vascular disorders, and other neurological conditions with high precision. It delivers focused beams of gamma radiation from multiple angles to target abnormal tissue while minimizing damage to surrounding healthy brain tissue. The procedure is non-invasive, usually performed in a single session, and guided by advanced imaging techniques like MRI or CT scans. This allows for accurate treatment of difficult-to-reach areas, reducing risks and recovery time compared to traditional surgery. It's a safe, effective option for patients needing precise brain radiation therapy.
