Gamma Knife is not a knife in the normal sense of the word
No incisions are made in your head Instead, very precisely focused beams of radiation are directed to the treatment area in the brain, optimised to hit only the target without damaging surrounding healthy tissue.
It offers a safe and effective treatment for more than 80,000 patients worldwide every year. The treatment procedure is simple, painless and straightforward.
Mr Matthias Radatz and Mr Jeremy Rowe lead the Thornbury Gamma Knife Radiosurgery Centre in Sheffield welcoming referrals for Privately funded treatment.
