ther for many years. "We have a strong Elekta presence at UPMC Cancer Centers," says Dr. Huq. "Historically, a great deal of Leksell Gamma Knife(R) development has taken place here, as well as collaboration on other Elekta technology. So Elekta Synergy S was a natural progression for us."

With the addition of Elekta Synergy S to its Leksell Gamma Knife(R) Perfexion(TM) and Leksell Gamma Knife(R) 4C capabilities, the Center for Image Guided Neurosurgery at UPMC has been designated an Elekta Stereotactic Center of Excellence. "We treat one of the largest patient volumes in the world," says Dr. Huq, "and Elekta Synergy S will be a great benefit to our patients."
