What is Gamma Knife Radiosurgery?

Gamma Knife Radiosurgery, a form of stereotactic radiosurgery, is a sophisticated radiation tool known worldwide for its precise treatment to targeted areas of the brain. The "Tools" of the Gamma Knife are the beams of gamma radiation that deliver single doses of radiation therapy with precision of less than 1 mm. The Gamma Knife Centre is located in a new wing at UHN’s Toronto Western Hospital and operates as a unique collaboration between the Neuroscience, Medical Imaging, and the Radiation Medicine Programs. Each of these programs are world leaders in their own right and, combined, promise to offer state-of-the-art care for Ontarians with benign neurological disorders.
