Body Gamma Knife
The term radiosurgery (known as single fraction
radiosurgery ) was defined one half century
ago to characterize the method of destroying
diseased or dysfunctional tissue with a single
large dose of irradiation delivered through
stereotactically directed narrow radiation
beams.Body Gamma Knife is one of methods
to deliver stereotactic irradiation. Prior
to the development of the Body Gamma Knife,
the traditional treatment for abnormal areas
in the body such as tumors was surgery, intensive
radiation therapy or a combination of both.
The Body Gamma Knife offers another option,
which allows for the safe and highly effective
treatment of problem areas in the body without
incision.
The Body Gamma Knife is a noninvasive surgical
instrument which is developed by OUR International
Scientific & Technological Development
Co,Ld. It has been used clinically since
1998 with highly sophisticated computer software
through which it pinpoints body lesions with
exquisite accuracy.
Elegant in its simplicity yet sophisticated
in design and performance,the Body Gamma
Knife allows the surgeon to operate on body
problems with radiation instead of a operation.
Using highly sophisticated 3-dimensional
computerized dose of radiation to a target
within body by focusing gamma rays from 30
separate and rotating sources on the same
percise point. The dose is delivered in a
manner that conforms precisely to the location,
size and shape of the target, thereby destroying
it while protecting the surrounding normal
body tissue, Patients do not experience pain
and are free to resume their normal lifestyle
and activeties the day following treatment.
