Gama Knife Radiosurgery in India
Gamma Knife represents a cutting-edge, non-invasive neurosurgical technology that has revolutionized brain treatment. Unlike conventional surgical approaches, Gamma Knife does not necessitate any incisions, offering an exceptionally precise and targeted method to treat a variety of neurological conditions.
The system harnesses numerous tightly focused gamma-ray beams that converge precisely at a designated point within the brain. This convergence is extraordinarily accurate, enabling the treatment of complex brain conditions while sparing the surrounding healthy tissue from radiation exposure.

Is Gamma Knife safe?
Indeed, Gamma Knife is renowned as a proven gold standard technology, known for its minimal side effects due to its precise targeting capabilities.
Is Gamma Knife effective for multiple brain metastasis?
For patients with multiple brain metastases, conventional LINAC whole brain radiation can potentially damage normal brain tissues. In contrast, Gamma Knife offers highly precise treatment, ensuring safety for adjacent tissues. Additionally, Gamma Knife can treat multiple brain metastases in a single session—a capability that conventional LINAC-based radiosurgery struggles with, typically limited to treating no more than 4 metastases effectively.
Can Gamma Knife treatment be given more than once?
Certainly, Gamma Knife treatment can be repeated multiple times, either for the same tumor if necessary or for any new metastases that may develop later. Its precision ensures minimal radiation exposure to surrounding normal tissue, making repeat treatments not only feasible but also safe compared to other technologies.
