CyberKnife: a robotic radiosurgery system.
The CyberKnife is a radiosurgical system consisting of a linear accelerator and robotic arm. Using guidance imaging, the system precisely locates tumors and delivers multiple beams of radiation therapy directly to the tumor site while minimizing radiation exposure of surrounding tissue. The CyberKnife has the capacity to treat tumors up to 6 cm in size and holds promise as a new radiosurgery tr...

متن کاملCyberKnife Stereotactic Radiosurgery for Recurrent, Metastatic, and Residual Hemangiopericytomas
OBJECTIVE Hemangiopericytoma is a rare and aggressive meningeal tumor. Although surgical resection is the standard treatment, hemangiopericytomas often recur with high incidences of metastasis. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the role of CyberKnife stereotactic radiosurgery (CK) in the management of recurrent, metastatic, and residual hemangiopericytomas. METHODS In a review of the ...
متن کاملTreatment of Spinal Tumors Using Cyberknife Fractionated Stereotactic Radiosurgery: Pain
Copyright © 2009 by the Congress of Neurological Surgeons Benign and malignant tumors of the spinal column and spinal cord are a common and costly clinical problem, causing significant morbidity. Metastatic disease to the spine is the most common presentation; approximately 160 000 new spinal metastases are diagnosed in the United States each year, resulting in considerable pain, functional imp...
متن کاملDose selection in stereotactic radiosurgery.
Selecting optimal doses for radiosurgery requires a thorough consideration of existing dose-response data for radiation injury of brain and surrounding structures and of the doseresponse for the desired endpoint (tumor control, obliteration of a vascular malformation, relief of trigeminal neuralgia, etc.). This paper reviews the radiobiological and physics principles that should be considered i...
