Gamma rays vs. abnormal blood vessels (3D Animation)

Stereotactic radiosurgery treats arteriovenous malformations (AVMs), abnormal tangles of blood vessels in the brain. It delivers highly focused radiation beams to the AVM, causing the blood vessels to scar and close over time.

My brother had an AVM. It’s because of this that he is alive with us now

We microwaving our brains with this one

Now people are going to want to buy one of those mesh veils

THAT'S GENIUS! it solves a problem: if the laser came from a single source it would melt the tissue which is on the path towards the avm but weaker laser just phases through whoever came up with this is really, really smart

my late father had this done on a brain tumor. Unfortunately, it was a very aggressive type of brain cancer, hence "late"

It's amazing how far we've come in terms of medical advancements. I hope we can make these developments more accessible to the people.

This thing looks like it will either melt your head, or kickstart your supervillain origin story

this is the high tech equivalent of shining a magnifying glass on an ant

I had an AVM rupture when I was 12, I’m now in my first year of university getting my BScN. I didn’t have the gamma knife but I went through 2 craniotomies (1 to initially remove the AVM and another a year after because it had regrown) but other than a few minor sensation issues in my left side I’m decently recovered :)

[KnotNoxus]

oh yeah I had my AVM pop open before and caused my right side of my body to be paralyzed
Had to do this so I wouldn’t have to worry about anymore brain bleeds

The sound effects in this video is everything.

It’s incredible just how many aspects of life in this age are being COMPLETELY changed by our understanding and harnessing of the power of light. Motion to call this “the light age.” The space age is over. This is next.

SubhanAllah kya kahne lajawab 👍 ek number

I have AVM. Never had any sort of surgery, but the thought haunts me daily


Seeing other comments saying they have it too is sooo helpful. I feel so alone. Knowing y’all have had surgery and lived is great also… I saw scientific journals explaining how people die within 5 years of the removal surgery at a very high percentage.

Merci Docteur bon idée très intéressant bravo Docteur ❤❤

How tf do you even think of this. Modern technology is honestly a marvel.

[jamesliu]

Bouta be hulk with the gamma rays 😬😬😬🗣️🗣️🗣️🔥🔥

[ランペルージュルルーシュ]

Wait, if you destroy the 'tangled' blood vessels, does that mean you just disconnected multiple 'functioning' blood vessels?

What happens to the blood? Do they get rerouted? As far as I know, if you detach a blood vessel and did NOT reattach it to another blood vessel, the blood will clump in that end of the segment where you made the disconnection. And we're talking 'multiple' tangled blood vessels here.

I feel like this video failed to give us the complete details about this whole procedure.

Sounded like bro stuck his head in a microwave with those "ramen is done" beeps

[emilaasen]

As someone who had AVM which exploded/ leaked and had a cerebral hemorrhage.

I want people to check them self. As it’s usually from birth. And it’s a ticking bomb.


I was 11.
