One Picture Speaks A Thousand Words, These Radiosurgeons Use Two
At the Gamma Knife Center they like to be thorough. Before they perform radiosurgery on someone's brain they do exhaustive tests to locate the problem. One of the problems they treat is called Cerebral Arteriovenous Malformation, AVM for short. An AVM happens when small blood vessels in the brain form a tangled mass. This mass can cause brain cells to die, it can start bleeding, and it often causes headaches and sometimes seizures.
