 Gamma Knife
The head frame
A key component in gamma knife surgery is the
stereotactic head frame. The frame allows the doctor to accurately
pinpoint the target to be treated in your brain. This lightweight frame,
which is attached to your head with four screws, ensures that the
radiation beams can be directed with precision to the target. The frame
also
prevents your head from moving during imaging and treatment procedures.
Local anesthetic is applied where
the screws are to be attached. |
