  2. Leeds Gamma Knife Centre - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leeds_Gamma_Knife_Centre

    Leeds Gamma Knife Centre is based in the Institute of Oncology at St James's University Hospital in Leeds, West Yorkshire, England. St. James's Institute of Oncology (Bexley Wing), a National Health Service (NHS) hospital, is the largest cancer research hospital in Europe. [ 1 ]

  3. 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).

  4. 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.

    These decays include the emission of gamma rays, whose energy is isotope-specific and ranges between 300 keV and 1.5 MeV. Superficial radiation therapy machines produce low energy x-rays in the same energy range as diagnostic x-ray machines, 20–150 keV, to treat skin conditions. [ 3 ]

  6. Singapore Gamma Knife Centre - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Singapore_Gamma_Knife_Centre

    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]

  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.

    This compelled Leksell to consider other radiation sources and he started designing the cobalt-60 gamma unit, which was fully integrated with the stereotactic system. The development of the ‘‘beam-knife’’ took place after Leksell had been appointed successor to Olivecrona in 1960 and the first unit was inaugurated in 1967.
