Swedish neurosurgeon Dr. Lars Leksell and a colleague, Börje Larsson, developed the first Gamma Knife model in 1968 during their search for a non-invasive modality to treat functional brain disorders. Subsequently, the Gamma Knife was proven to be beneficial in treating brain tumors and arteriovenous abnormalities. Continuing refinement through 1975 resulted in the forerunner of today’s Gamma Knife. In 1987, the Gamma Knife was introduced to the United States.
Over 300,000 patients worldwide have been safely and effectively treated with the Gamma Knife for malignant and benign brain tumors, vascular abnormalities and functional disorders. The Gamma Knife represents one of the most technologically advanced surgical instruments in use today. |
