“Growing Shift toward Outpatient Radiosurgery Settings”
- A significant trend in the gamma knife market is the increasing preference for outpatient-based stereotactic radiosurgery procedures due to reduced hospital stays, lower costs, and faster recovery times for patients
- Healthcare systems are transitioning to day-care models for brain tumor treatments and functional neurological procedures, supported by the precision and safety of gamma knife technology
- This trend is also aligned with healthcare cost-containment strategies and patient demand for convenient, non-invasive care delivery
- For instance, in 2024, Mayo Clinic expanded its outpatient neurosurgery unit with a dedicated Gamma Knife suite, enabling same-day treatment and discharge for eligible patients
- The shift toward outpatient settings is driving demand for compact, efficient gamma knife systems and reshaping service delivery in neurology and oncology departments
