Robotic Systems in Radiotherapy and Radiosurgery

Abstract Purpose of Review This review provides an overview robotic systems in radiotherapy and radiosurgery, with a focus on medical devices recently proposed research systems. We summarize the key motivation for using illustrate potential advantages. Recent Findings. Robotic have been variety tasks radiotherapy, including positioning beam source, patients, imaging devices. A number are cleared use some widely used, particularly patient positioning. Summary The need precise safe delivery focused high doses to target region motivates robots radiotherapy. Flexibility arrangement beams ability compensate motion advantages While couches used is well established, brachytherapy mostly considered context.
