A NON-INVASIVE PROCEDURE EXCLUSIVELY FOR THE BRAIN
Noninvasive Gamma Knife® is a type of radiation therapy that provides hope for conditions previously considered inoperable. Many patients considered high risk for open surgical procedures due to illness or other conditions find new hope with Gamma Knife treatment.
