Imagine the unimaginable:
Thanks to the Gamma Knife, physicians can now treat brain tumors and other brain abnormalities that were once deemed
inoperable and/or inaccessible. The Gamma Knife procedure is accomplished within a single session, and depending upon the
complexity of the treatment plan, the procedure can last anywhere from 30 to 60 minutes.
Also, as a non-invasive procedure, the Gamma Knife procedure virtually eliminates
the need for anesthesia. And there are none of the side-effects that are usually associated with conventional brain surgery.
Perhaps most incredible of all, patients can usually resume normal activities within 24-48 hours after the
procedure.
Simply the latest and finest in
Stereotactic Radiosurgery.
The Gamma Knife is the only medical technology solely
designed to treat brain tumors and neurological disorders through Stereotactic Radiosurgery. The Gamma Knife delivers a
number of outstanding advantages. Here are some of them:
It's non-surgical.
The Gamma Knife procedure is completely non-invasive. It offers
bright new hope for patients with brain tumors and neurological disorders that would otherwise be considered inoperable.
Meanwhile, there are no incisions, no general anesthesia. Surgical complications, such as hemorrhage and/or infection are
virtually eliminated.
It's truly cost-effective.
The Gamma Knife achieves success at a fraction of the cost of
traditional brain surgery. Gamma Knife patients enjoy a far shorter hospitalization period. And there are no operating room
costs.
It's safe and effective.
The Gamma Knife has decades of research, evaluation and
clinical data to support its successful use in leading medical centers worldwide. And most important, it’s generally
considered to be the safest, most effective means for treating many types of brain tumors and neurological disorders.
It's covered by most health insurance
plans.
As a treatment that's neither new nor experimental, the Gamma
Knife procedure is covered by Medicare, Medicaid and most insurance plans. For specific coverage information, please consult
your insurance carrier.
