Gamma Knife is an advanced medical device that specializes in the treatment of tumors and cancer. It is not a knife, but it is called a “knife” because it has a scalpel-like effect, eliminating tumors in the body without trauma or incisions. Gamma Knife has replaced the scalpel in many ways as the most preferred treatment for cancer (tumors).
The gamma knife is the invention of Leksell, a famous Swedish neurosurgeon. It was born in the 1960s, matured in the 1970s, spread globally in the 1980s, and introduced to China in the 1990s.
Since the twenty-first century, the gamma knife has not only been widely used in China, but also innovative, not only “made in China”, but also “created in China”. It is a typical representative of Chinese creation in large medical equipment, so in terms of gamma knife technology, Chinese medical has been far ahead in the world.
