This machine is dedicated to the treatment of lesions located in the head and neck.   <\/p>\n\n<div style=\"height:16px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Using a self-shielded SRS (Stereotactic Radio Surgery) system, it ensures optimum radiation protection while minimizing exposure of healthy tissue.
