Elekta launches Leksell Gamma Knife Lightning, a cutting-edge solution for intracranial stereotactic radiosurgery

2020年5月12日的斯德哥尔摩 - Elekta（Ekta -b.st）今天宣布推出Leksell GammaKnife®闪电，其下一代治疗优化器，它代表了集成的Leksell GammaKnife®的有效工作流程中的重要一步立体定向放射外科（SRS）系统。Leksell Gamma刀具闪电是伽玛刀唯一完全集成的自动化处理解决方案，可以基于包括集光束时间约束的参数进行计划优化。可以在不到一分钟内创建多个目标的专业建立计划，同时在治疗持续时间内提供大量节省。

Speaking about his experience with the Leksell Gamma Knife, Dheerendra Prasad, MD, Professor of Oncology, Neurosurgery and Radiation Medicine at Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center, Buffalo, New York, says: “With over 600 patients treated every year and a majority being metastatic brain tumor patients, we see any technology that reduces planning times, particularly in cases of multiple metastases, and offers optimization and ultimately reduction in treatment delivery times as an enhancement of the patient care experience and a quantum jump in the use of radiosurgery in the brain.”

Arjun Sahgal，MD，癌症烧蚀治疗计划负责人，加拿bob体育网赌大Sunnybrook Health Sciences Center的Odette Cancer Center股票中，他的观察结果：“我们在时间，用户内变异性和从计划质量的角度来看，我们已经节省了节省，我对这件事的方式非常满意。我认为这是伽马刀的主要进步，我认为它对船上的巨大影响，它是一种要临床影响的产品。“

Commenting on how this can help new centers ramp up their SRS capabilities quickly, Dr. Sahgal adds: “You can now get maximal plans, in terms of conformality and sparing but you are taking out that learning curve that needs to be gradually increased amongst new centers, which is just part of the natural history of learning how to plan Gamma Knife cases.”

基于所需参数，Leksell Gamma刀具闪电可以在不到一分钟的时间内创建多项计划，从而可以简单地比较计划选项和每个患者最适合的计划的选择。此外，操纵光束时间的能力通过最有效的辐射输送参数和序列创造治疗计划，与手动前进规划相比，将换热时间降低至50％。¹

“Having dedicated most of my professional life to supporting those who are committed to high-quality intracranial care, I know firsthand that one of their biggest challenges is trying to balance the increasing demand for automation and speed against their urgent desire to provide SRS that is personalized and adapted to each patient,” says Verena Schiller, Elekta’s President, Neuroscience Solutions. “Consistent with our outside-in approach, which is based on developing solutions that address real clinical need, Leksell Gamma Knife Lightning was designed to meet this challenge and empower physicians to focus on patient-centric care while increasing operational efficiency.”

Leksell Gamma刀闪电尚未商业上市，并可从6月底临床上市。
