About the CyberKnife System
The CyberKnife Robotic Radiosurgery System is the world's only
radiosurgery system that utilizes intelligent robotics. This enables the
CyberKnife to ablate tumors anywhere in the body with sub-millimeter accuracy.
The CyberKnife System treats patients in single or staged (typically 2-5)
sessions by delivering multiple beams of precisely directed radiation that
converge upon the tumor while minimizing injury to surrounding healthy tissue.
The CyberKnife uses a combination of image guidance and computer controlled
robotics to continuously track, detect and correct for tumor and patient
movements throughout the treatment with pinpoint accuracy. Because of the
extreme precision and accuracy of the CyberKnife, no head or body frame is
required. CyberKnife has proven to attract a new patient population to a
physician's practice and complements existing radiation therapy, IMRT or IGRT
programs. With over 120 systems sold and a large body of peer-reviewed
publications supporting its clinical practice, the CyberKnife has treated over
16,000 patients worldwide.
