Gamma Knife Irradiation of the Trigeminal Root Outlet Gamma knife irradiation of the trigeminal root outlet, a procedure more commonly used in the treatment of trigeminal neuralgia, has been suggested107 for use in cluster headache, where five of six patients treated with this technique improved. Si...
The name "gamma knife" is a poor one as there is no cutting involved at all. The procedure has changed greatly over the last 3 decades. According to Wackym and associates (2004), it has now become appreciated that the high radiation doses used for malignant tumors in other contexts res...

Purpose: Geometric accuracy of single-isocenter Gamma Knife delivery has been well established to within 0.3 mm. The question frequently asked is the accuracy of the full-procedure Gamma Knife treatments, particularly important for large tumors requiring multiple isocenter deliveries. In this study, we...
