- A robotic radiosurgery
- A non-invasive method for treatment of both cancerous and non-cancerous tumor in the body
- The treatment which deliver beam of high radiation dose to tumor with extreme accuracy
Equipment of Cyber Knife
- Patient lie on treatment table, robotic arm moves around body delivering high radiation directly to tumor.
- Tumor cells are killed while exposure to surrounding tissue is minimized
- Moves with unlimited mobility- to deliver radiation with accuracy to exact location without touching them
- Has advanced imaging and tracking system- update on tumor location through treatment, compensating patient movement and ensuring radiobeams are locked on tumor
Advantages
- Non-surgical treatment option - non-invasive, fewer complications
- Greater flexibility - superior reach and maneuverability
- Unparalled precision - conc. radiation beam
- Superior accuracy - tracks patient movements
- Frameless system - no metal frames and skull pin
- Higher radiation dose - targeted treatment precision
