Gamma Knife radiosurgery offers an alternative to traditional treatments for small brain tumors and disorders. This advanced therapy is available exclusively at the ULB Gamma Knife Center in Belgium.

Area of Science:

  • Neurosurgery
  • Radiation Oncology
  • Neurology

Background:

  • Gamma Knife radiosurgery is an established treatment modality for various brain conditions.
  • It serves as an alternative or complementary approach to conventional neurosurgery and radiotherapy.
  • The treatment is particularly effective for small-volume brain disorders and tumors.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To highlight the applications and indications of Gamma Knife radiosurgery.
  • To emphasize the unique position of the ULB Gamma Knife Center in Belgium.

Main Methods:

  • Gamma Knife radiosurgery utilizes focused beams of radiation to precisely target brain lesions.
  • Treatment planning involves detailed imaging and dose calculation for optimal efficacy and safety.
