Amethyst Radiotherapy UK operates two highly specialised Radiosurgery Centres, using the Gamma Knife platform specially designed to treat previously inoperable brain lesions.
The two UK Centres are at the Queen Square Radiosurgery Centre, co-located in ULCH’s the National Hospital for Neurology and Neurosergery; and at the Thornbury Radiosurgery Centre in Sheffield.
Gamma Knife* is a non-invasive stereotactic radiosurgery platform that involves no incision.
Gamma Knife uses up to 192 precisely focused beams of radiation to control malignant and non-malignant tumours, as well as vascular disorders in the brain, without harming surrounding healthy tissue. In a rising number of instances, Gamma Knife is used as an alternate option to surgery or whole brain radiation.
