Elekta Korea Hosts 'Elekta Neu-Sprit Symposium' and Unveils New Gamma Knife Products

      Elekta, a global medical device company, today announced that it will host the Elekta Neu-Sprit -Leksell Gamma Knife Esprit Launching Symposium on June 21 at SKY31 CONVENTION at Lotte World Tower in Seoul, South Korea.   The symposium will be attended by neurosurgeons and other medical professionals who are currently using or planning to adopt Elekta's radiation therapy device, Leksell Gamma Knife. Elekta will provide an in-depth look at Leksell Gamma Knife.   Elekta, the organizer of the symposium, is a medical device company specializing in the development of the Leksell Gamma Knife, a breakthrough in the treatment of brain diseases, by Prof. Lars Leksell of Karolinska University in Sweden in 1972. It provides advanced treatment solutions such as Leksell Gamma Knife Icon, Linear Accelerator Versa HD, and Unity Treatment Machine based on high-resolution real-time MR to major hospitals in Korea in the areas of radiosurgery and therapy.   At the symposium, Leksell Gamma Knife Esprit will present its newest product, including its features and clinical trial results. Leksell Gamma Knife has been continuously upgraded since its prototype was developed in 1968 and has now reached its seventh generation.   It is currently in use in 54 countries around the world and has become the gold standard for stereotactic radiosurgery for brain disorders.   The most recent model, Leksell Gamma Knife Esprit, is a revolutionary device for treating brain tumors in a non-invasive way. Currently, seven units have been installed worldwide, and two hospitals in Korea are using it, with two more in the pipeline.   According to Elekta CEO Louis Kwon, the Leksell Gamma Knife was first installed in Korea in 1990, and has been used in clinical applications and data accumulation for more than 100,000 patients.   "The new product 'Leksell Gamma Knife Esprit' is a device that can treat brain tumor diseases more reliably without surgery, and I expect it to provide an opportunity to treat patients more smoothly and expect stable results," said Kwon. "I hope you can check the excellence and utilization of Leksell Gamma Knife Esprit at the Elekta Neu-Sprit, Leksell Gamma Knife Esprit Launching Symposium."   The symposium will also feature several Leksell Gamma Knife clinical results that have been presented at the Korean Leksell Gamma Knife Society, Asian Leksell Gamma Knife Society, World Leksell Gamma Knife Society and Stereotactic Radiosurgery Society.    박원중 기자 (park.wonjun.ja@gmail.com)symposium products gamma knife launching symposium symposium will
