“Icon is the only dedicated intracranial solution on the market, and health centers around the world recognize the safety, efficacy and comfort benefits that the system provides to patients,” said Francois Pointurier, Elekta’s Senior Vice President, Western and Central Europe. “Aside from improving care, the implementation of Icon enhances a center’s linear accelerator capabilities, which helps to increase the volume of intracranial SRS procedures, while minimizing treatment delays and improving operating efficiencies and health care economics for radiosurgery departments.”

At the European Association of Neurosurgical Societies (EANS) Annual Meeting, October 1-5 in Venice, Italy, Elekta will showcase its Leksell Gamma Knife Icon radiosurgery system alongside its recently released Leksell® Vantage™ Stereotactic System.
