General Hospital of PLA Second Artillery (Beijing Erpao Hospital)

     Beijing Erpao Hospital is an AAA hospital that serves a wide range of functions, including medical teaching, research, medical services, and physical therapy. This hospital has 900 employees and 1000 patient beds.

     The medical center is equipped with the latest MASEP Rotary Gamma Knife. The rotary gamma system uses a 25 Cobalt source distributed in a spiral mode, and rotates with a collimator to precisely target a selected lesion. It eliminates the lesion at the focal point with dynamic gamma beams. The treatment process with MASEP Rotary Gamma Knife is safe, efficient, non-invasive, bloodless, and painless.

     The gamma knife process is ideal for medical cases dealing with intracranial gamma knife systems including cerebral arteriovenous malformation, brain metastases, pituitary adenoma, acoustic neuroma, meningiomas, gliomas, and trigeminal neuralgia.

     The advantages of intracranial gamma knife are numerous and include:

1. Non-invasive. No bleeding, no infection and no complications

2. Painless. No obvious damage to normal brain tissue

3. Short treatment times. In most cases, only one gamma knife treatment process is required, thus allowing for quick completion.

4. Fixed cost. In most cases, the efficacy and development of diseases can be predicted before treatment.

5. Few adverse reactions. Most patients can go back to work or study soon after gamma knife treatment.
