NEUROSCIENCES

Gamma Knife® Radiosurgery for Brain Tumors and Neurologic Conditions

Gamma Knife is not traditional surgery. It is a non-invasive, highly precise treatment that delivers focused beams of radiation to a targeted area in the brain while minimizing exposure to surrounding healthy tissue.

At the Ascension Alexian Brothers Gamma Knife Center, our specialists use Gamma Knife® radiosurgery to treat:

  • • Arteriovenous malformations (AVMs)
  • • Brain lesions
  • • Brain tumors (cancerous and non-cancerous)
  • • Chordoma (tumor on the base of the skull and spine)
  • • Movement disorders, such as Parkinson's disease
  • • Trigeminal neuralgia
  • • Vestibular schwannoma

Because no surgical incision is required, most patients receive treatment during a single outpatient visit and return home the same day. Your care team carefully reviews your imaging, diagnosis and medical history to determine whether Gamma Knife radiosurgery is the right treatment option for you.
