Gamma Knife Saves Lives

Welcome to the Gamma Knife website for patients and their families and friends. If you’ve been diagnosed with a brain disorder or metastases, you may be a candidate for Gamma Knife surgery. Although it’s called Gamma Knife, there is no blade or blood.

Instead, it’s a radiosurgical treatment that delivers a dose of gamma radiation to the target with surgical precision. Gamma Knife is the most accepted and widely used radiosurgery treatment in the world. About half a million people have been treated with Gamma Knife surgery, and it’s the only Radiation Therapy System cleared by the FDA for irradiating brain metastases. We hope you’ll find the information you need about gentle, non-invasive Gamma Knife surgery, and we wish you well in your treatment, whatever you may choose.
