This autumn, Elekta continues its commitment to supporting research and collaboration with two major international gatherings of the user community.
In October, the Leksell Gamma Knife Society Meeting is taking place in Stockholm, themed “Continue to Lead.” This long-awaited reunion of Gamma Knife practitioners from around the world marks the first stand-alone Society meeting since 2018. The program promises a rich blend of scientific exchange, peer-to-peer learning, and strategic discussions aimed at shaping the future of stereotactic radiosurgery. With exclusive access for Society members, the event will spotlight best practices, emerging research, and shared challenges in the use of the Leksell Gamma Knife®. Learn more about the event here.
Then in November, the MR-Linac Consortium is gathering in London Gatwick for the annual meeting, a pivotal forum for clinical and research leaders working with MR-guided radiotherapy on Elekta Unity. The meeting will feature educational tracks for new members and advanced sessions focused on clinical studies, workflow optimization, and the MOMENTUM project. Elekta’s involvement underscores its dedication to supporting the MR-Linac community in driving adoption of MR -guided adaptive treatments and collaborative research. Learn more here.
U.S FDA 510(k) clearance for treating Epilepsy with Leksell Gamma Knife
Leksell Gamma Knife, Elekta Esprit, has received U.S. FDA 510(k) clearance for the treatment of refractory mesial temporal lobe epilepsy (MTLE) in adults. This new indication is not only a regulatory milestone – it is a testament to the power of collaboration and research within the Gamma Knife user community. The clearance honors the original vision of Professor Lars Leksell, who invented the Gamma Knife to treat functional indications like epilepsy. Years of clinical experience, peer-reviewed studies, and user-led initiatives culminated in this clearance. Elekta celebrates this achievement with gratitude to its global community of clinicians and researchers whose dedication made this possible.
