The Leksell Gamma Knife

The Leksell Gamma Knife is a specialized medical device used to treat brain conditions with precise radiation therapy. It directs multiple focused beams of gamma rays at a targeted area, such as a tumor or abnormal blood vessels, destroying or shrinking them while minimizing damage to surrounding healthy tissue. The procedure is non-invasive, typically performed on an outpatient basis, and offers high accuracy owing to advanced imaging guidance. This technology is particularly effective for treating brain tumors, arteriovenous malformations, and other neurological issues, providing a safe and effective alternative to traditional surgery.
