The center possesses a Novalis, the most advanced radiation surgical machine. Only twenty units have been produced throughout the world and the unique one in Korea is at Ilsan-Paik Hospital. Novalis enables doctors to perform an operation on every regions of the brain, on affected areas up to 8cm. This means that thanks to Novalis, now, physicians don't need to worry any more about the location and size of the surgery.
