Gamma Knife radiosurgery brings precision treatment to benign brain conditions

This episode of the Physics World Weekly podcast features Katharine Hunt, Head of Radiosurgery Physics at Sheffield Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust in the UK. She explains how Gamma Knife radiosurgery is being used to treating arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) and other benign brain conditions.

Sheffield is home to one of the world’s longest-running Gamma Knife centres, and Hunt shares the facility’s insights into treatment planning, dose precision, paediatric care, and long-term outcomes.

This podcast is sponsored by Elekta, which produces the Gamma Knife radiosurgery system.
