RSS Webinar: Vault-Free, Cobalt-Free Radiosurgery – ZAP-X Clinical Experience at SNRC, Zurich

In June 2021, the Swiss Neurosurgery Center in Zurich, was the first and only center in Switzerland to adopt the vault-free, cobalt-free radiosurgery system – ZAP-X®. The technology uses the beam geometry of the commonly used Gamma Knife but is equipped with a modern – gyroscopically mounted – linac, thus avoiding radioactive material. Instead of using a stereotactic frame, patients wear a masque and the skull is tracked by stereoscopic images (x-rays) and modern algorithms. This technology is ideal for small-volume, benign and malignant tumors and for vascular malformations deep in the brain.

During this webinar, Dr. Andreas Mack, PhD, will discuss the technological features of the ZAP-X® and the clinical experience at the Swiss Neuro Radiosurgery Center.
