[PPP] Gamma Knife Surgery

Gamma Knife is a stereotactic radiosurgery method used for treating brain tumors. Leading neurosurgeons around the world are choosing Gamma Knife to treat their patients for a number of reasons. As you can imagine, accuracy is a must when treating brain tumors. Gamma Knife provides that while reducing excess radiation to the body. It also eliminates the need to X-Ray the brain every two minutes during the treatment of the tumor to ensure that the target has not moved. Instead only a single MRI is needed, and the exposure to excessive X-Rays is not present and the length of time needed for treatment is significantly reduced. Gamma Knife has been used to treat over half a million people, and been documented in over 2,000 peer-reviewed papers. It seems it has even been accepted by Medicare which has given it, it's own authorization code.

Maybe I should suggest this treatment to my downstairs neighbor and her dog? I know. I ned to be nice. All joking aside, it is definitely worth a second look and further research if you or anyone you know may be in need of this technology.
