Professor Eric Deutsch, Chair of the Radiation Therapy Department, Institut Gustave Roussy Paris, France: "We upgraded our CyberKnife® M6™ System because we wanted to confidently provide precise, accurate doses of radiation to more patients each day. With the new CyberKnife treatment delivery software upgrade and Accuray Precision TPS we are delivering on this goal. We have reduced the time we spend creating treatment plans and overall treatment times, while maintaining the plans' quality. As an example, when we've used the Monte Carlo with the InCise™ MLC for lung treatments we've decreased treatment times by about 40% without sacrificing outcomes."

Geoff Heyes, PhD, Principal Clinical Scientist, Queen Elizabeth Hospital Birmingham, United Kingdom: "We have a large radiation oncology department and count on the CyberKnife System to provide precise radiation treatments for a range of cases including intracranial, lung, prostate and spine. When we learned that the Accuray Precision TPS would be available for this System, we hoped that it would make a great product even better. We've found that since installing the Accuray Precision software we've seen a planning speed increase of approximately 30%, thereby reducing the time taken to plan compared to when we used the MultiPlan™ TPS."

Lionel Hadjadjeba, MD, Senior Vice President and Chief Commercial Officer at Accuray: "The release of the new upgrade reinforces our commitment to provide customers with the ability to more efficiently create high-quality treatment plans which easily integrate into their department's workflow, while at the same time, decrease treatment times. With the introduction of Monte Carlo dose calculation for the CyberKnife System's InCise MLC, clinicians will have the state-of-the-art technology they need to deliver high-dose SRS and SBRT treatments, personalized for every patient."
