According to the company, Leksell Gamma Knife Perfexion’s unique geometric and dosimetric design robotically administers thousands of beams of low-intensity radiation that converge to deliver a single, therapeutic dose of radiation with pin-point accuracy to the most difficult targets; while integrated treatment planning and delivery streamlines the radiosurgery process to treat even multiple brain lesions in a single automated procedure. Leksell Gamma Knife is said to be specifically designed to optimize treatment to the head and neck area.
