Novalis Radiosurgery Center – Ilsan Paik Hospital

Novalis radiosurgery is an advanced stereotactic radiosurgery technique that precisely shapes radiation beams to match the contour of a tumor, allowing highly targeted treatment of the lesion while sparing surrounding healthy tissue. This non-invasive, bloodless procedure achieves results comparable to surgical removal without the need for incisions.

The Novalis Radiosurgery Center at Ilsan Paik Hospital provides ultra-precise treatment without skin incision or general anesthesia. It is particularly effective for tumors located near critical structures such as the brainstem, optic nerves, and spinal cord, where conventional surgery or radiation may pose significant risks.
