Elekta Offers Cooper University A Noninvasive Treatment for the Brain


Cooper University Hospital, in Camden, NJ, will be one of the first hospitals in the U.S. to offer patients a non-invasive treatment for brain disorders with the new Leksell Gamma Knife Perfexion from Elekta. The system brings together innovations that make treatment faster and more accurate.

"Gamma knife surgery is known as the gold standard in stereotactic radiosurgery, and with good reason," said H. Warren Goldman, M.D., Ph.D., chief of Neurosurgery and director of the Cooper Neurological Institute. "With the technological advances that have been integrated into Leksell Gamma Knife Perfexion, we will be able to offer patients new options in treating brain disorders and brain tumors which are gentle, non-invasive and effective," Goldman added.
