Gamma Knife ICON

Treatments: Frameless and frame-based gamma knife radiosurgery (SRS) and fractionated stereotactic radiotherapy (SRT), (Brain Mets, benign conditions, and functional disorders):

  • Brain Mets-Single, Multiple & re-peat SRS
  • Salvage role for gliomas
  • Benign conditions- meningioma, pituitary adenomas, schwannoma, craniopharyngioma, haemangioblastoma, and central neurocytoma
