Gamma knife

I'm taking a poll.   I typed Gamma knife in an op report.  I looked it up in Tessier The Surgical Word Book to confirm that the G is capitalized, which it was when used with knife.   I had numerous 'typo' QAs and it was changed to  gamma knife.

Gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase (GGT or GGPT)
Subject: Gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase (GGT or GGPT)

Gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase (GGT or GGPT) is also an enzyme produced in the bile ducts which may be elevated in people with bile duct diseases. Hepatitis and heavy alcohol consumption also increase GGT. Normal ranges from 12-55 IU/L.

(http://www.hcvadvocate.org/hepatitis/factsheets_pdf/Lab_report2.pdf)

Here is a pretty good reference for labs:

Okay, I've googled and looked around and there seems to be differing opinions about this.


Is it Gamma nail or gamma nail?  Seen in both ways.  I've been using Gamma nail because I'm thinking that it is a product that Stryker makes and I've seen in capitalized on their website, but other places...not. 


Is there a consensus?
