    Gamma knife is not a real scalpel, but also a kind of radiation, its full name is stereotactic gamma ray radiation system, is a modern large-scale high-tech medical equipment integrating modern radiation physics, radiation biology, medical imaging, computer, intelligent automation control and other disciplines, it uses radioactive elements 60CO to emit R rays in a geometrically focused way, through precise stereotactic direction, a certain dose of gamma rays planned to concentrate on the tumor, Tumor tissue is destroyed in a one-time, lethal dose to achieve the same effect as surgical resection or local destruction. Because the radiation adopts the method of rotation and focusing, the radiation through the normal tissues of the human body is only instantaneous, almost harmless irradiation, and the dose is sharply reduced, so the first irradiation range and the boundary between the normal tissue is very obvious, and the edge is neat like a scalpel cutting, therefore, people vividly call it gamma knife.

    The principle of gamma knife is similar to the focusing process of a magnifying glass, placing the magnifying glass in the sun, and a dazzling spot of light will become under the magnifying glass, that is, the focus. Outside of the focal point, the person feels normal, but at the focal point there is a high level of heat, enough to set some objects on fire. Therefore, the radiation dose is concentrated in the tumor area, so that the tumor receives a dose sufficient to kill the tumor, so as to achieve the desired ** effect.

    However, Gamma Knife is not a complete replacement for surgery or traditional ang chat, it is more suitable for regularly shaped and relatively small tumors. Therefore, for liver cancer, Gamma Knife is suitable for small liver cancers that cannot be surgically removed or locally ablated.
