Although each source emits low-energy beams, the combined focus of these hundreds of beams delivers highly concentrated energy to the target. The therapeutic effect of Gamma Knife treatment is attributed to damage inflicted on the genetic material of brain tumors. This damage follows different paths depending on the type of brain condition being treated. The treatment aims to destroy fast-growing tumors and arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) while halting the growth of slow-growing tumors. Gamma Knife therapy can effectively treat brain conditions, as well as diseases affecting bones, blood vessels, nerves, skin, and other tissues surrounding the brain.
