Rotating Gamma-Based Radiosurgery Systems

The Akesis Galaxy® builds on well-proven isometric design principles that have been published in more than 2,000 peer-reviewed papers for Co-60 based radiosurgery. Healthcare centers using a rotating isometric design gamma system report than more than one million patients have been treated with the system.

The following peer-reviewed journal papers address the performance of gamma-based radiosurgery systems, including a rotating gamma system.
