Gamma knife surgery is a type of radiation treatment performed with the help of Gamma Knife, a non-invasive neurosurgical tool. Gamma knife surgery delivers small, extremely precise doses of radiation into the brain. This treatment shrinks small tumors or blocks abnormal blood vessels and nerves that cause pain or seizures.
The method is less invasive and requires less hospitalization and recovery time than neurosurgery. Gamma Knife radiosurgery is most commonly used to treat brain tumor, arteriovenous malformation (AVM), trigeminal neuralgia.
As of 2020 the global Gamma Knife Market is estimated to be valued at US$ 215.8 Million and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 4.5% during the year (2020-2027)
