Contact The Gamma Knife Center at Fort Sanders

The Fort Sanders Regional Gamma Knife Center features the Leksell Gamma Knife® Icon™, a non-invasive stereotactic radiosurgery procedure used to treat brain tumors and other neurological disorders.

Located at Thompson Cancer Survival Center, the Gamma Knife program uses the latest in diagnostic imaging and 3D treatment planning software to deliver finely-focused beams of gamma radiation to small targets inside the brain. The beams converge at a point to treat the affected tissue, while minimizing the damage of healthy brain tissue.

Parking/Directions to Fort Sanders Gamma Knife Center

Patients and visitors should park on the first level of the Thompson Cancer Survival Center garage and enter through the red door. The Gamma Knife Center is located in the Radiation Oncology department on the first floor of Thompson Cancer Survival Center. Signs are posted to direct patients and visitors to the appropriate place. 

Parking validation is provided for only one vehicle on procedure day. Patients cannot drive themselves home after the Gamma Knife procedure, so the validated vehicle should be for whoever drives the patient home. Patients will register with the Gamma Knife Coordinator, Rick Wyrick, BS RN.
