Gamma System

Gamma system is one of the most advanced precise radiation therapy technologies in the world. Its scientific term is “Stereotactic Gamma-ray Treatment System”. The system makes use of modern nuclear physics, Diagnostic Radiology, computer and precision machinery technology to deliver multiple beams of Gamma radiation to the localized small targeted lesion inside the body. The beams of Gamma ray are converged dynamically at a one focused point. Only at this point, there is enough radiation dose delivered to treat the lesion while sparing the surrounding normal tissue.

The invention of this medical technology is regarded as “a revolution in the history of modern medical treatment”. Gamma system provides same result as that of surgery without bleeding and pain. So far in the world more than 500,000 patients have been successfully treated.

There are two types of Gamma system in the world. One is brain Gamma system and the other is body Gamma system. The former is for the treatment of intracranial diseases such as brain tumors, vascular malformations of Cerebra and the brain functional diseases; the latter is for the treatment of varieties of localized tumors arising from body such as liver cancer and lung cancer etc. Plenty of clinical data provided sufficient evidence to verify the safety and efficacy of these two methods.

Adoption of Gamma system which can achieve the same effect as that of surgery without the risks inducing by the operations have established a new medical treatment model for some diseases.

Linear Accelerator（LINAC）

Accelerator is a device that accelerates charged particles to high energies by the use of the force of artificial electric field and magnetic field. It can generate electron ray and X-ray with sufficient energy to kill deep tumors. Linear Accelerator is the most widely used clinical accelerator and the most common method of conventional radiotherapy. Equipped with both accelerator and Gamma system, conventional radiotherapy and precise radiotherapy can be performed efficiently based on the requirements of clinical treatment and a good and reasonable allocation of different kinds radiotherapy technology can be achieved as expected.
