Minimal Investment – ultimate Precision


SmartKnife® stands for precise and reliable radiosurgery with a minimal investment. As an add-on expansion to existing teletherapy units, Precisis SmartKnife®truly is a smart solution and a low-end alternative to the Elekta GammaKnife.

What is so special about it?
The SmartKnife® concept incorporates your existing Radiotherapy machine. The SmartKnife® components are attached temporarily for the radiosurgical treatment. The modification only takes minimal effort and is easy to handle.

With its superior cost-benefit ratio the Precisis SmartKnife® convinces even most efficiently designed care-providers’ budgets.

The manual design and the intuitive plausibility checks of the complete SmartKnife® package significantly decrease the quality assurance efforts.

And: the SmartKnife® leafs are just 1 mm wide, so much thinner than conventional linac leafs. This is just 1,7 mm in ISO center for real target conformity!
