Imagine the unimaginable: Brain surgery without an incision!
Gamma Knife is a well established method used for treatment of malignant and benign brain tumors, vascular malformations and trigeminal neuralgia.
This new state-of-the-art technology is only at Palmetto Health in Columbia, SC.
Instead of the doctor making incisions, the energy of 201 narrow beams of cobalt radiation is focused on a specific target within the brain.
Come learn about how this innovative technology works, talk with a doctor from the Gamma Knife team, and see the Gamma Knife in person at the April 21st Science Cafe! It's science for FREE!!
