In this era of modern neurosurgery, we are able to provide adequate amelioration of disabling symptoms for the small subset of patients who have conditions that may make them unacceptable candidates for invasive stereotactic neurosurgical intervention. Gamma Knife radiosurgical thalamotomy is an effective and useful alternative to invasive radiofrequency techniques for patients at high surgical risk. The mechanical accuracy of the gamma unit combined with the anatomical accuracy of high-resolution magnetic resonance imaging makes radiosurgical lesioning safe and precise.
在现代神经外科手术时代，对于一小部分因病情而可能不适合进行侵入性立体定向神经外科手术干预的患者，我们能够充分缓解其致残症状。对于手术风险高的患者，伽玛刀放射外科丘脑切开术是侵入性射频技术的一种有效且有用的替代方法。伽玛刀装置的机械精度与高分辨率磁共振成像的解剖精度相结合，使得放射外科损伤既安全又精确。
