Features & Facts

A leader in the radiosurgery field
The team, formed 25 years ago, is full of dedicated and skilled people like Dr. med. Gerhard A. Horstmann, who has worked with Gamma Knife since 1998. Almost 10,000 patients are successfully treated; "We are trying to provide the best care".
An interdisciplinary healthcare facility
The Gamma Knife Center Krefeld is where neurosurgeons and radiation therapists collaborate with Helios Hospital Krefeld. As a national hub, they also foster strong partnerships with university hospitals specializing in neurosurgery and ophthalmology.
The gold standard of safety in radiosurgery
Elekta's Leksell Gamma Knife effectively targets the tumor with precise radiation dosage, thus saving healthy tissue around it. Its 192 fully shielded cobalt-60 beam sources contribute about 0.5% of the total dose needed to eradicate the disease.
Advanced imaging methods to detect and respond to changes
Imaging technology includes both CT and MRI scans. Digital subtraction angiography (DSA) for imaging blood vessels also is used. All this data is transferred to the Gamma Knife's planning system through the advanced IT systems.
Quality management based on ISO standards
The Gamma Knife Center Krefeld became the world's pioneer and remained the only radiosurgical facility with ISO 9001. The complete treatment procedure and monitoring follow stringent quality management protocols.
