Target Gamma
Posted in Uncategorized | No Comments »Target Gamma
Guys I need your idea here. Please only serious answers?
I had brain surgery to remove a tumor in my cerebellum and pathology indicated that low-grade tumor is more benign. One month after the surgery the doctor said he could not remove the entire tumor during surgery and recommended gamma knife to point the rest of the tumor. Now one months later my recent MRI is not growing and the doctor said he cannot take the risk of gamma knife in this small tumor so radiation therapy is recommended, but after a month because he wants to repeat the MRI in the case of this growth will be reduced because he said that usually after a gamma knife grow and shrink tumors and this is common. But if it is benign why in a month that there was some growth? Are You that what the doctor said that "the gamma knife that activates the tumor will shrink later" might be correct? Please give me some idea! Thanks
I can not tell a scientific explanation, but I would believe what the doctor says that because he has more experience than me. I hope you get well and live a life of good quality.
Advanced treatment of brain disorders
brain disorders are among the most difficult medical conditions to treat. Due to the sensitive nature of things like brain tumors and other intracranial disorders, invasive procedures that attempt to rectify surgery are often very dangerous and not always successful one hundred percent. In recent decades, highly effective alternative to invasive surgery have been developed, the most advanced of what radiosurgery Gamma Knife. Today, many of the clinics in this country are brain tumor using the gamma knife technology to treat brain diseases. The Gamma Knife was invented in 1967 by Lars Leksell Swedish neurologist. Since then it has greatly improved with the addition of modern computer technology. treatments Gamma Knife use computerized treatment planning software that allows doctors to locate and irradiate small tumors and areas of the brain disorder incredible precision. About 200 highly focused radiation beams are shot to the target zone for treatment of gamma knife. The accuracy of the device of Gamma Knife is so accurate that no surrounding tissue damage. How does the Gamma Knife The Gamma Knife uses a method called stereotactic radiosurgery, in which a selection area at a time and in three dimensions with 200 beams of radiation. The beams intersect in the target area. This method allows physicians to provide intense dose of radiation quickly and with minimal damage, if any, to surrounding tissue. The device uses gamma knife robotic technology to move the patient sub-millimeter increments, which allows high-precision surgery. Compared with attempts invasive surgical Invasive Surgery remove tumors are sometimes very effective, but in many cases, there is no guarantee that the tumor recurs. Often, surgery is only performed for removal part, used to stop the spread of tumor. Gamma Knife treatment, in comparison, have had a higher success rate. Another condition that the knife gamma rays has been able to deal efficiently is trigeminal neuralgia, a disorder of the trigeminal brain that causes excruciating pain in the sufferer. Scalpel gamma-ray procedure for trigeminal neuralgia, the condition can be kept under control. 83% of patients who undergo the knife trigeminal neuralgia gamma-ray treatment report being pain free after 12 months.
