Gyroscopic Radiosurgery Integrated with Magnetic Resonance Imaging
World’s First to Offer Integrated Innovations
ZAP-X is an advanced form of radiation therapy and is the next generation of stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS). Through a painless outpatient procedure, and without an invasive head frame, anesthesia or incision, you can return home after treatment with no recovery period.
Integrating Synaptive MRI technology with ZAP-X is a game-changer. The combination provides physicians with real-time imaging immediately before the treatment. Additionally, it is quieter than other MRIs and the ONLY DEDICATED BRAIN MRI designed to specifically image the nervous system. Bringing these technologies together provides the most precise, accurate and rapid treatment possible for many pituitary and brain tumors, as well as other intracranial disorders.
The Dr. Robert H. and Mary Ellen Harris ZAP-X Center for Noninvasive Neurosurgery at the Hackensack Meridian Neuroscience Institute at Jersey Shore University Medical Center is the world’s first center to integrate ZAP-X® Gyroscopic Radiosurgery® with Synaptive’s Brain-Only Silent MRI. The Synaptive MRI, Zap-X and the Center were made possible by a very generous gift from the Golden Dome Foundation and Mrs. Mary Ellen Harris.
