Improving Care With Innovative Treatments

Interventional Neuroradiology (INR)

AdventHealth is one of the only hospitals in Central Florida to provide in-house interventional neuroradiology 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Whether day or night, a specialist is immediately available to offer treatment of cerebrovascular disorders, such as brain aneurysms, arteriovenous malformations, carotid stenosis, strokes and transient ischemic attacks.

Using 3D progressive imaging to guide an endoscope through a vein or artery, our experienced surgeons can view and treat the affected area with pinpoint accuracy. This technique eliminates the need for a large incision, which means less discomfort, fewer risks and a shorter recovery time.

Gamma Knife® Technology

We continue to push for better results that bring you a stronger recovery. New innovations are making it possible, often allowing our surgeons to operate with millimeter accuracy and minimal or no incisions.

Cerebrovascular disorders can sometimes be treated with a leading-edge treatment called Gamma Knife® technology. AdventHealth is the only medical facility in Central Florida using this innovative no-incision procedure. Gamma Knife® is the most accurate technology device and is considered the gold standard in the radiosurgical management of brain disease. It targets and treats tumors with precision, minimizing damage to surrounding tissue, resulting in less pain and scarring and faster recovery times. Patients normally resume their daily activities within 24 to 48 hours.

The Gamma Knife® surgical suite at AdventHealth is the only one of its kind in Central Florida. Our multidisciplinary team of neurosurgeons and radiation oncologists has performed nearly 3,600 procedures using the Leksell Gamma Knife® Perfexion™. 

Other minimally invasive options, such as endoscopy and brain port surgery, also provide benefits of reduced pain, less scarring and faster recovery compared with traditional open surgery. Our specialists will help you carefully determine all your options and choose the treatment best suited to bring you the most effective relief and recovery.
