Leksell Gamma Knife® 4C
"Combining productivity, efficiency, and cost-effectiveness in one system along with all the benefits of Gamma Knife® surgery" The Leksell Gamma Knife® 4C system was specifically designed for medical facilities with high patient throughput. The built-in robotic positioning system APS (Automatic Positioning System™) ensures an efficient treatment procedure. The Leksell Gamma Knife® 4C system meets high requirements for productivity, efficiency, and cost-effectiveness of radiosurgical systems.
Gamma Knife radiosurgery is preferred for significant reasons. Gamma Knife intervention is performed in just one procedure and does not require general anesthesia. After a Gamma Knife procedure, patients are typically discharged home the same day or the next day. This saves significant hospitalization costs (compared to open surgical interventions). During the radiosurgical procedure, 196 cobalt-60 gamma ray beams converge with high precision at a given focus on the target. Each individual beam has low intensity and does not affect healthy brain tissue on its way to the target. The beams converge only at the isocenter, where the total radiation dose becomes extremely high. The dose delivered during irradiation is formed using collimators of various sizes and opening individual sectors. The high precision of the Leksell Gamma Knife system, with an accuracy of less than 0.5 mm, makes it possible to direct a high radiation dose to the damaged area with minimal risk of damage to healthy tissues.
