“Gamma Knife is the gold standard for minimally invasive, precision radiosurgery for specific disorders of the brain,” says Dr. Field. “We use a very specialized frame that allows us to precisely localize an area of the brain that needs to be treated. We then focus multiple beams of radiation on a tumor, and virtually no dose of radiation to the surrounding healthy tissues. The accuracy of this system is less than one millimeter.” “AdventHealth is the only hospital in Central Florida to offer Gamma Knife, and we've been offering this treatment since 1996 — with constant upgrades to improve the preciseness of our treatments,” Dr. Field explains.
