What Makes CyberKnife® Revolutionary?
Multi-jointed robotic arm
CyberKnife is the only FDA approved, completely robotic stereotactic radiosurgery
available in the world that targets and destroys inaccessible tumors or lesions
anywhere in the body including the neck, spine, lung, pancreas and prostate.
- Guidance system cameras take live images of the tumor, tracking
and locating its actual position throughout the treatment, while compensating for
small patient movements during the procedure.
This makes it possible to treat lesions that move with breathing, such as lung
and pancreatic tumors. It also allows administration of a higher dose of radiation
while nearby normal tissue is preserved.
- A multi-jointed robotic arm delivers multiple beams of radiation
at optimal angles to the tumor site. With over 1,200 possible beam positions, the
CyberKnife has the greatest flexibility of approach available in radiosurgery–even
more than radiation therapy.
