Gamma Knife Center

Advantages of the Clinic

• The Gamma Knife Radiosurgery Center has been operating since 2005 and is one of the first specialized radiosurgery centers in Russia.
• More than 12,000 procedures have been performed, confirming the team’s extensive experience and high professional competence.
• The clinic uses the modern Leksell Gamma Knife® ICON™ platform, known for its exceptional precision and ability to treat most types of intracranial lesions.
• Before choosing a treatment method, a comprehensive expert evaluation is conducted, including MRI data analysis, clinical assessment, histology, and consultations with related specialists — neurologists, neuroendocrinologists, and neuro-ophthalmologists.
• The center’s capabilities allow for a full treatment preparation cycle: diagnostics, specialist consultations, and follow-up examinations after the procedure.
• Care is provided in a convenient format: either outpatient or in a day-hospital setting.
• Collaboration with major neurosurgical centers such as the N.N. Burdenko National Medical Research Center enables second opinions and expert involvement in complex clinical cases.
• The clinic is an official training center for Elekta, the manufacturer of Leksell Gamma Knife®, ensuring adherence to international standards and continuous professional development of its specialists.

What Is Leksell Gamma Knife®

• Leksell Gamma Knife® is a high-precision stereotactic radiosurgery method that allows treatment of brain tumors and vascular abnormalities without incisions, without anesthesia, and without hospitalization.
• The system uses hundreds of fine gamma-radiation beams that converge at a single point — the lesion — without affecting healthy tissues.
• The ICON™ version used in the clinic provides maximum accuracy thanks to integrated imaging, fractionation options, and motion-control systems.
• This method is suitable for treating hard-to-reach and critically located lesions and can serve as an alternative to traditional neurosurgery.

Mission

The mission of the center is to provide patients with access to high-precision, safe, and minimally invasive neurosurgical care based on advanced radiosurgical technologies.

The clinic aims to improve patients’ quality of life by delivering effective treatment without the need for complex surgical procedures, reducing risks and shortening recovery time. Its work is guided by strict adherence to international radiosurgery standards, ensuring the safety, accuracy, and evidence-based effectiveness of all procedures.

A key part of the clinic’s approach is integrating the expertise of specialists from various medical fields — neurosurgeons, radiologists, neurologists, and other professionals — enabling the most balanced and well-founded clinical decisions. At the same time, the clinic is committed to continuous professional development and the introduction of innovative technologies, constantly improving diagnostic and treatment processes to offer patients the most modern and effective care.
