Gamma Knife Perfexion System Supplied by American Shared Hospital Services Begins Treating Patients at Sacred Heart Health System in Pensacola, Florida

SAN FRANCISCO–(BUSINESS WIRE)– AMERICAN SHARED HOSPITAL SERVICES (NYSE MKT:AMS), a leading provider of turnkey technology solutions for advanced radiosurgical and radiation therapy services, announced today that the Gamma Knife® PerfexionTM system it supplied to Sacred Heart Health System in Pensacola, Florida has begun treating patients.

Noting that Sacred Heart is a new hospital affiliation for American Shared, AMS Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Ernest A. Bates, M.D., said, “This latest addition to our Perfexion portfolio demonstrates that neurosurgeons and radiation oncologists who know the competing technologies best continue to demand this unequaled stereotactic radiosurgery system for treating cancers and other diseases of the brain. We see additional opportunities to place Gamma Knife Perfexions at new and existing AMS sites both in the U.S. and internationally.”

AMS, the largest owner of Gamma Knife Perfexion systems worldwide, has now placed twelve Perfexion systems in the United States and one in Turkey; a fourteenth system is scheduled to be installed at Northern Westchester Hospital in Mt. Kisco, New York in the second quarter.

About Gamma Knife Perfexion

Gamma Knife Perfexion maintains full clinical compatibility with the classic Gamma Knife and is supported by efficacy and outcome data from 600,000 treated patients worldwide and thousands of peer-reviewed scientific articles, making it a proven choice for radiosurgery of the brain. According to its manufacturer, Elekta, Gamma Knife Perfexion reduces unwanted body dose to the patient by up to 100 times compared with competing technologies, which is particularly important for treatment of children and women of childbearing age, and allows for a dramatically increased treatable volume, which is expected to increase the number of patients that can benefit from Gamma Knife surgery. Elekta estimates that the fully automated and efficient single push-button approach can save 3-5 working weeks of physician time per year at an average Gamma Knife center.
