Current experiments indicate that a focussed single radiation treatment with a dose of 6000 to 9000 rads delivered to the 90% zone through a collimator of the Leksell stereotactic radiosurgical unit or 'gamma knife' to the rabbit eye melanoma model is capable of destroying the cancer totally and thus effecting a cure. The beneficial effect in these rabbit eye melanoma experiments appears to be similar to the results obtained by physicians using the Harvard and Berkeley cyclotrons in treating malignant neoplasms in the human eye. Therefore, it is proposed that a properly designed stereotactic radiosurgical unit can be used in patients with eye tumours similar to those selected for the cyclotron systems.
目前的实验表明，通过Leksell立体定向放射外科设备或“伽马刀”的准直器，向兔眼黑色素瘤模型的90%区域给予6000至9000拉德的聚焦单次放射治疗，能够完全摧毁癌症，从而实现治愈。在这些兔眼黑色素瘤实验中的有益效果似乎与医生使用哈佛和伯克利回旋加速器治疗人眼恶性肿瘤所获得的结果相似。因此，有人提议，可以将设计合理的立体定向放射外科设备用于患有与选择用于回旋加速器系统的眼肿瘤相似的患者。
