 Indian government hospitals. The Neutactic device solves fundamental limitations of conventional neurosurgical equipment, such as radiofrequency ablation of brain tumors, deep brain stimulation for Parkinson’s disease, epilepsy, and other neurological diseases.

The gadget provides a convenient option for stereotactic interventions in children under the age of three, when currently available technologies are ineffective. Stereotactic radiosurgery is a type of radiation treatment that may be used to treat brain disorders with extreme precision. Professor Lerch said, “We intend to utilise the novel form factor of the device to perform diagnostic imaging studies at the University of Wollongong”.

Mr Ashish Mitra, an inventor of the Neutactic device, expressed hopes over the new device. He said, “The studies will enable scientific assessment related to stereotactic neurosurgical procedures related to brain tumour diagnosis and treatment. The diagnostic imaging studies performed at the University of Wollongong will pave the way for conducting clinical procedures on patients using the Neutactic device in India, particularly in hospitals where access to conventional stereotactic equipment is limited.” The Australian Government is supporting the initiative through the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade’s Australia-India Council.
