Gyroscopic Cobalt-60 Stereotactic Radiotherapy System

The Gyro Knife is an advanced precision radiotherapy system designed for the accurate treatment of a wide range of benign and malignant tumors. It is particularly well-suited for gliomas, as well as liver, pancreatic, lung, esophageal, and rectal cancers. The system is ideal for elderly or frail patients, those who are not candidates for surgery, and individuals with residual, recurrent, or metastatic tumors.

Key Advantages:

  • High precision targeting

  • Short hospital stay

  • Non-invasive procedure

  • No need for anesthesia

  • Pain-free and bloodless treatment

About the Technology:

The Gyro Knife represents the fifth generation of Gamma Knife technology, integrating the strengths of both linear accelerators and traditional Gamma Knife systems. Utilizing an innovative "triple-focus" technology, it delivers unparalleled accuracy and efficacy in tumor treatment.

Inspired by the mechanics of a gyroscope, the system features Cobalt-60 radiation sources mounted on dual-axis rotating gyroscopes, allowing for dynamic, multi-angle radiation delivery. This unique design not only enhances treatment precision but also minimizes damage to surrounding healthy tissues—hence the name "Gyro Knife."

The Gyro Knife sets a new standard in stereotactic radiotherapy, offering patients a safer, more comfortable, and highly effective treatment option.
