  2. Cyberknife (device) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyberknife_(device)

    During treatment, the image guidance system captures 3D images, tracks the movement of tumors, and guides the robotic arm to accurately aim the treatment beam at the moving tumor. [ 2 ] The system is designed for stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) and stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT).

  3. Radiosurgery - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radiosurgery

    Radiosurgery is surgery using radiation, [1] that is, the destruction of precisely selected areas of tissue using ionizing radiation rather than excision with a blade. Like other forms of radiation therapy (also called radiotherapy), it is usually used to treat cancer.

    The facility is based in the Balestier Road-based ParkwayHealth Day Surgery & Medical Centre. [3] An independent medical centre, any member of the public, local or foreigner, is entitled to make use of it. [5] The centre promotes itself as "Asia's leading gamma knife centre" and "the only gamma knife facility in Singapore". [3]

  6. External beam radiotherapy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/External_beam_radiotherapy

    Cobalt units use radiation from cobalt-60, which emits two gamma rays at energies of 1.17 and 1.33 MeV, a dichromatic beam with an average energy of 1.25 MeV. The role of the cobalt unit has largely been replaced by the linear accelerator, which can generate higher energy radiation.

  7. Stereotactic surgery - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stereotactic_surgery

    Stereotactic surgery is a minimally invasive form of surgical intervention that makes use of a three-dimensional coordinate system to locate small targets inside the body and to perform on them some action such as ablation, biopsy, lesion, injection, stimulation, implantation, radiosurgery (SRS), etc.

  9. Scintigraphy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scintigraphy

    Scintigraphy (from Latin scintilla, "spark"), also known as a gamma scan, is a diagnostic test in nuclear medicine, where radioisotopes attached to drugs that travel to a specific organ or tissue (radiopharmaceuticals) are taken internally and the emitted gamma radiation is captured by gamma cameras, which are external detectors that form two-dimensional images [1] in a process similar to the ...
