"Today, there are more options than ever to treat tumors located in almost any area of the body," said Dr. Matthew Hardee, CARTI radiation oncologist and medical director of radiation oncology. "The CyberKnife System represents a significant leap forward as we can now efficiently and effectively treat a wider range of tumor types, including some that previously would have been untreatable with radiation."
The CyberKnife Platform: Facilitating Better, Faster, Full-Body Radiation Treatments
The CyberKnife platform's robotic design, in combination with Accuray-exclusive Synchrony® real-time target tracking with dynamic delivery technology, enables treatment of cancerous and benign tumors throughout the body, as well as neurologic disorders, with sub-millimeter precision. Synchrony® uses advanced algorithms and artificial intelligence (AI) to drive dynamic delivery, adapting for tumors that move as a result of bodily processes, including respiration and digestion, as well as patient movement - without uncomfortable patient restraints, breath-hold techniques, or interrupting treatment. The platform's ability to automatically stay on target despite patient and tumor motion truly differentiates it from conventional radiation delivery systems.
