The CyberKnife System is the industry's only radiation delivery system that features a linear accelerator (linac) directly mounted onto a sophisticated robotic platform to deliver radiation therapy. The robot maneuvers around the patient to deliver multiple beams of radiation from thousands of angles to target the tumor or lesion. Using advanced imaging and Accuray proprietary Synchrony® technology, the system can see the tumor or lesion in the brain and continually verifies its position, automatically correcting and adapting the beam position for even the slightest movement. For example, if the patient moves their head during treatment, the CyberKnife® System detects this movement and synchronizes the treatment target to the new position in real-time delivering maximum dose directly to the tumor while minimizing dose to surrounding health tissue, reducing the risk of many common side effects.
