Radiosurgery means delivery of a single dose of precisely directed ionizing radiation to a small volume of intracranial tissue without opening of the skull after the stereotactic localisation of the preselected target. Leksell gamma knife is a device enabling to deliver focused radiation toward the intracranial volume with the gamma rays emitted by the 201 sources of the isotope Co 60. Suitable indications for radiosurgery are cerebral arteriovenous malformations, benign and malignant intracranial tumors and functional diseases of the brain.
放射外科是指在对预选靶点进行立体定向定位后，不打开颅骨，将单剂量精确聚焦的电离辐射传递至小体积的颅内组织。Leksell伽玛刀是一种能够利用同位素钴60的201个放射源发射的伽马射线向颅内体积传递聚焦辐射的设备。放射外科的适用适应症包括脑动静脉畸形、颅内良恶性肿瘤以及脑部功能性疾病。
