AIG installs first ZAP-X platform for non-invasive brain tumor treatment

AIG Hospitals has launched the ZAP-X Gyroscopic Neuro-Radiosurgery Platform, becoming the first hospital in South India and only the second in India to introduce the advanced technology designed specifically for the treatment of brain tumors and complex neurological disorders.

The state-of-the-art system enables doctors to treat brain lesions with extreme precision without the need for open surgery, incisions, or prolonged hospitalization. The treatment can be completed as a non-invasive day-care procedure, allowing patients to return home the same day.

The ZAP-X platform delivers highly focused radiation beams with sub-millimeter accuracy, precisely targeting tumors and abnormal tissues while protecting surrounding healthy brain structures. This significantly reduces treatment-related trauma and recovery time for patients.

Brain tumors and neurological disorders continue to pose a growing healthcare challenge in India. Traditionally, treatment often required complex neurosurgery involving craniotomy, extended hospital stays, and lengthy recovery periods. With the installation of ZAP-X, AIG Hospitals aims to make one of the most advanced neuro-radiosurgical technologies available to patients across South India.

Speaking on the occasion, D Nageshwar Reddy, Chairman of AIG Hospitals, said the introduction of the technology reflects the institution’s commitment to bringing cutting-edge medical innovations to patients.

He noted that conditions which once required complex brain surgery can now be treated with extraordinary precision through a day-care procedure without a single incision. According to him, this approach reduces trauma, speeds recovery, and offers new hope to patients and their families.

He added that the technology is expected to benefit patients from Telangana, Andhra Pradesh, and neighbouring states, while strengthening Hyderabad’s reputation as a centre for advanced neurological care. Highlighting its clinical capabilities, Subodh Raju, Director and Head of Neurosurgery at AIG Hospitals, said modern neurosurgery increasingly focuses on precision and minimal invasiveness.
