Clinical confidence
Consistently accurate and precise treatment delivery
“The ability to fractionate treatments has allowed us to expand the case mix, for example to patients with tumors that are situated close to critical structures, allowing such patients to benefit from the superior dosimetry of Leksell Gamma Knife.”
No need for margins
Planned dose equals delivered dose with guaranteed system accuracy over lifetime of device1
Lower dose to healthy tissue
2-4 times lower dose to healthy brain and lowest dose to rest of body compared to other SRS modalities2
Evidence-based performance
Clinically proven, extensively published and expertly supported technology
