How is CyberKnife different from other stereotactic radiosurgery systems like Gamma Knife?
Because of the flexibility of the robotic arm, the CyberKnife system is able to reach areas of your body that Gamma Knife and other radiosurgery systems can’t. CyberKnife can be used anywhere in your body, while the other systems can only treat the head and neck. The CyberKnife is able to locate the position of the tumor within your body without the use of a painful head frame. And, the CyberKnife monitors and adjusts for your movement during treatment.
