| | Gamma Knife / The established Standard of Care |
 | | Gamma Knife surgery is unique in that no surgical incision is made to expose the inside of the brain, thereby reducing the risk of surgical complications and eliminating the side effects and dangers of general anethesia. | | | The Gamma Knife offers a non-invasive alternative for many patients for whom traditional brain surgery is not an option and removes the physical trauma and the majority of risks associated with conventional surgery. | | | Gamma Knife surgery represents a major advance in brain surgery, changing the landscape within the field of neurosurgery in the last decade. |

| | "Gamma Knife patients don't lose their hair, suffer from nausea or get the skin rashes that other radiation patients can develop," said Chin, who is also an associate professor of neurosurgery at the University of Maryland School of Medicine. | | | Gamma Knife also differs from conventional radiation therapy. | | | "Gamma Knife can be used as a first line treatment or after traditional surgery," Chin said. |

| | Occasionally exceptions are made to treat larger lesions with the Gamma Knife after consideration of the patient's overall condition, review of alternative options and the goal of therapy for the individual. | | | It is the treatment of choice for lesions that are small, near the skull base, near critical structures, or are residual or recur after surgical therapy. | | | Radiosurgery is especially suited for patients of advanced age or with medical problems that place the patient at greater risk for complications with other therapies. |

| | With the introduction of Gamma Knife radiosurgery, the team further demonstrates its commitment to bring to the community the latest technical advances which offer the potential for not only improved results of therapy, but also a reduction in the effects of those therapies. | | | It also is beneficial for patients whose lesions are situated in an inaccessible or functionally critical area within the brain, making a surgical approach difficult or impossible by conventional neurosurgical techniques. | | | A multidisciplinary approach focuses a broad range of medical expertise on each case before Gamma Knife radiosurgery is performed. |

| | As is true of all radiation therapy, correct selection and calculation of the amount of radiation to deliver are essential. | | | The gamma knife and its associated computerized treatment planning software enable physicians to locate and irradiate relatively small targets in the head (mostly inside the brain) with extremely high precision. | | | For example, it can be used to treat selected malignant tumors that arise in or spread to the brain (primary brain tumors or metastatic tumors), benign brain tumors (meningiomas, pituitary adenomas, acoustic neuromas), blood vessel defects (arterio-venous malformations) and functional problems (trigeminal neuralgia). |
