  tumors, lesions, vascular malformations and other
  brain abnormalities. It also treats several
  neurological conditions such as acoustic neuroma
  and trigeminal neuralgia.

During Procedure

• The gamma knife radiosurgery may take less than
  an hour to about four hours, depending on your
  medical condition, the size and shape of the
  target. It starts off with you resting on a bed
  that slides into the gamma knife device and your
  head frame being attached to the helmet in it.
  After the attachment of the head frame you will
  undergo brain imaging to locate the tumor
  precisely. You will have an intravenous (IV)
  tube, most likely in your arm, to deliver fluids
  and medications to your bloodstream during the
  process

  differently. You will be advised to avoid
  strenuous activities like exercise for a specific
  period of time. You will also be advised to not
  scrub the pin sites on your head until about the
  week or so. Consult your doctor immediately if
