Latest 5th Generation state of the art GAMMA - KINFE PREFEXION Machine from ' ELEKTA Sweden ' recently installed.This excellent machine is first in South Asia over other prevailng indian basic machines. Internationally acclaimed and Experienced Gamma - Knife Neurosurgeon along with competent radiation oncologist, radiation safety officer , technician and courteous nursing staff will conduct the treatment procedure (OPERATION) of non- invasive micro-neurosurgery (Blood less Brain surgery). Focussed targeted Gamma radiation treatment and almost no radiation to other parts of the brain and neck with automated collimation ( ROBOTIC ). Gamma Knife Prefexion machine gives: patient's comfort, non-invasive, no-pains, bloodless., no knife, no catheter,no sedation,no anaesthesia risk,same day discharge and highly cost effective as compare to conventional Neurosurgery ( open brain-surgery ). and other therapy. Stereotactic Radiosurgery
Radiosurgery is a surgical procedure in which narrow beams of radiation are targeted to a volume of tissue within the brain. This highly focused and destructive dose of radiation is given in a single session and avoids potentially harmful radiation to surrounding brain structures. Stereotaxis refers to an accurate targeting technique for intracranial structures (such as brain tumors) using an external reference frame fixed to the head. Modern imaging by CT and MR technology and computer advances has made stereotaxis a very potent aid in brain tumor diagnosis and treatment. Since 1968, non-invasive Gamma Knife radiosurgery for the treatment of brain tumors and vascular malformations has enjoyed incredible success. More than 65,000 patients have been safely treated with focused gamma rays worldwide. Radiosurgery differs from conventional radiation therapy in several respects. With standard external beam radiation therapy techniques, tumors and much or all of the surrounding brain are treated to the same dose of radiation. The radiation dose is given in small increments over several weeks to allow normal brain tissue to recover from its effect, while tumor tissue is less likely to recover. Ultimately, the brain can absorb only a maximal dose of radiation, beyond which no further treatment is advisable. There is increasing evidence that over long periods of time, high doses of radiation are harmful to normally functioning brain. The technique of Gamma Knife radiosurgery, however, treats only the abnormal tissue. This treatment occurs in a single session, without significant radiation to adjacent brain. There is no evidence that radiosurgery has led to the development of other malignant tumors since the introduction of the GK more than 25 years ago. Stereotactic techniques can also be used to accurately aim fractionated doses of gamma rays or x-rays to a target; administering the treatment in small doses over days to weeks. This technique is a compromise between radiosurgery and conventional radiotherapy and is termed stereotactic radiotherapy. What Brain Disorders Can Gamma Knife Radiosurgery Treat ? Modern brain imaging with CT and MR techniques and sophisticated computers allow GK radiosurgery for many tumors, vascular abnormalities, and pain problems which are now treated by open surgery. The results of treatment are very beneficial in most cases, optimistic in others, and under going continuing evaluation in all cases. Here is a partial list of some intracranial diseases treated by the Gamma Knife.
