system different from other stereotactic radiosurgery systems?
CyberKnife® uses the combination of a robotic arm and Linac image guidance. Because of the flexibility of the robotic arm, the system is able to reach areas of the body that are unreachable by other radiosurgery systems. Second, unlike other stereotactic radiosurgery treatments, CyberKnife® is able to locate the position of the tumor within the body without the use of an invasive stereotactic head frame. This means there are no pins screwed into your forehead. Third, the CyberKnife® system compensates for patient movement during treatment, constantly ensuring accurate targeting.
