Cyberknife Robotic Radiosurgery Offers High-Dose Targeting

The CyberKnife System aims to deliver high-dose, hypofractionated radiosurgery treatments.
Using robotic technologies and continual image guidance, the CyberKnife System aims to deliver targeting accuracy with the ability to automatically correct for intra-fraction target motion without interrupting treatment or having to reposition the patient.
The system delivers beams that move in real time with 3D respiratory motion throughout the respiratory cycle.
