Welcome to The Indiana Lions Gamma Knife Center. Gamma Knife is the name of the procedure that uses gamma rays to precisely destroy brain tumors or treat abnormal areas of the brain, such as vascular malformations. This radiosurgery center has been treating patients and offering new hope since 1997.
Gamma Knife treatment is currently used for benign tumors, malignant tumors, vascular malformations and functional disorders. Specific conditions include:
The array of vascular malformations and tumors presently treated with Gamma Knife radiosurgery continues to increase. As the ability to better visualize brain abnormalities and functional disorders increases through advances in diagnostic imaging and functional mapping of the brain, applications for the Gamma Knife continue to expand and some day may include treating patients with Parkinson's disease and intractable epilepsy.
Patients are selected for radiosurgery by a team of physicians, based on individual patient analysis and an intensive review of existing imaging studies, physician records, patient age and health assessment. For more information, contact us at 317-274-1197 or toll-free at 888-283-6649.
