More Photos: Entering the Gamma Knife Machine

This is what's happening now. It's 11:30 am and Steve is lying down on this machine. We are waiting for him to finish.
Steve with Dr. Hakimian and the PhD gamma knife technician looking at his set up.

Steve will lie down here. The procedure will take 45-50 minutes. There is music playing and they were discussing what  concerts they have seen.


Look at the size holes in the center of each green circle. This metal head piece was selected for Steve.

This head piece with red circles has larger holes and is used to deliver a different amount of radiation to other patients.
