Cyberknife Uniqueness
 

What makes the CyberKnife unique?

 

Accuracy:  The CyberKnife is the only system available with “Tight to the Tumor” accuracy, which means it allows undefinedthe system to deliver highly-focused radiation beams with extreme precision that can conform to even small, complex-shaped, or difficult to reach tumors. 

 

100% Frameless: The combination of the image-guidance system and the multi-joined robotic arm allow the system to compensate for patient movement, sparing them from the pain and inconvenience associated with the conventional head frame that is fixed to the patients skull.

 

Painless surgery: The CyberKnife allows patients to be treated in a special radiosurgery suite where painless “surgery” is performed with no incision, no blood, no anesthesia and no recovery time.

 

Better quality of life, during and after treatment:  The simple outpatient treatment process allows patients to undergo their treatment and immediately resume normal activities.
