Gamma Knife surgery in non-invasive and does not require an incision or shaving hair. The first step in preparation is to fit the patient into the Gamma Knife helmet, or head frame. This holds the patient's head completely still while the tumor or other abnormality is precisely imaged and mapped using MRI, CT and other imaging technology. Images are downloaded to an advanced 3-D modeling simulator to complete the treatment plan.
The Gamma Knife surgery is used to treat the following conditions/tissues:
- Malignant brain tumors
- Malignant tumors of cranial nerves
- Malignant pituitary/pineal tumors
