About Gamma Knife
Gamma Knife radiosurgery is a well-established method of treating selected brain tumours or lesions in the brain. Gamma Knife is not a knife in the normal sense of the word. No incisions are made in your head. Instead, very precisely focused beams of radiation are directed to the treatment area in the brain, optimised to hit only the target without damaging surrounding healthy tissue.
