ZAP Surgical Systems’s ZAP-X Gyroscopic Radiosurgery Platform to Be Installed at AIG Hospitals, Bringing Vault-Free Brain Radiosurgery to South India 

Key Highlights: 

• AIG Hospitals in Hyderabad will acquire the ZAP-X Gyroscopic Radiosurgery Platform from ZAP Surgical Systems, becoming the first hospital in South India to offer this next-generation, non-invasive treatment for brain tumors and other intracranial conditions. 

• Designed by neurosurgeon John R. Adler, the system delivers incision-free stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) with surgical-level precision. Its vault-free design removes the need for radiation-shielded rooms and avoids traditional cobalt-60 sources by using a modern linear accelerator, enabling hospitals to offer advanced radiosurgery with lower infrastructure requirements. 

• With a gyroscopic dual-gimbal architecture and real-time imaging, the platform can direct radiation beams from thousands of angles with sub-millimeter accuracy, helping treat conditions such as brain metastases, meningiomas, acoustic neuromas, arteriovenous malformations, and trigeminal neuralgia, while reducing radiation exposure to healthy brain tissue and supporting faster outpatient care. 

Implications:  

ZAP-X obliterates infrastructure barriers, handing neurosurgeons outpatient precision therapy that slashes hospital stays and treatment costs. 
South India’s brain tumor patients finally access gold-standard radiosurgery, pressuring northern Gamma Knife hubs while elective cases explode. 
AIG pioneers next-gen neuro-oncology, drawing patients nationwide as digital workflow accelerates caseloads across premium cancer centers.
