Director, Lars Leksell Gamma Radiosurgery |
| Clinical and Research: |
Dr. Steiner was involved with the development and clinical application of the Gamma Knife with its inventor Lars Leksell of Sweden. He was the first doctor to use the Gamma Knife on arteriovenous malformations, vestibular schwannomas and meningiomas. He also devised the first titanium clip, a basal ring for Leskell's stereotactic system, and a laser guide for stereotactic microsurgery. Steiner received the 2001 Sugita Award that is presented to the most outstanding contributor to neurosurgical invention. |
