Abstract
- The first Leksell Gamma Knife unit(LGU-type B) for radiosurgery in Asia was installed in Asan Medical Center. Mechanical accuracy, output, dose profiles for each collimators were measure during acceptance test. Sixty eight patients (sixty nine cases) had undergone radiosurgery from May 1990 to September 1990.
