Date:10/23/2007

987," explains Dr. Lunsford. "We also have used the Leksell Gamma Knife B, C and 4C units over the last 20 years. We now use the 4C unit and the Perfexion unit side by side in the same radiosurgical suite. We continue to use the original Leksell Gamma Knife U unit for radiobiological research." Since 1987, UPMC has performed almost 9,000 Leksell Gamma Knife surgeries and trained over 1,000 neurosurgeons, radiation oncologists, neuro-otologists and medical physicists in the appropriate usage of the Leksell Gamma Knife.

UPMC continues to use a full range of Elekta stereotactic systems including a new Elekta Synergy(R) S system for spinal radiosurgery that is going online next week. "Elekta has been a very collaborative partner," says Dr. Lunsford, "which is critical for the success of both academic institutions and companies like Elekta, because testing and product development occurs within these partnerships."
