Business "is" brain surgery for American Shared Hospital Services (ASHS). The company owns 81% of GK Financing (GKF), which offers financing and service for the Leksell Gamma Knife, a noninvasive surgical device that uses gamma rays to destroy brain tumors without harming surrounding tissue. Sweden-based Elekta, which makes the Gamma Knife, owns the other 19% of GKF. GKF usually leases the Gamma Knife units on a per-use basis; it has contracts for units installed in 10 hospitals in the US, with more in development in Brazil and Peru as well as in the US.
