CyberKnife: a robotic radiosurgery system.
نویسنده
چکیده
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 treatment modality.

Lancaster General Health is the first institution in the United States to have the next generation CyberKnife made by Accuray Inc., the M6 series (Fig. 1). The CyberKnife utilizes non-invasive stereotactic radiosurgery to deliver precise, high doses of radiation to targets anywhere in the body. Recent studies have shown that stereotactic radiosurgery offers high rates of tumor control with mini...
متن کاملCyberknife Radiosurgery – A New Treatment Method for Image-guided, Robotic, High-precision Radiosurgery
Cyberknife Radiosurgery – Overview Cyberknife technology is based on radiosurgical principles that have been in clinical practice for 30 years. Radiosurgery is the precise application of a high (tumour-destructing) dose of radiation in a precisely defined target volume, while protecting the surrounding healthy tissue. During radiosurgery, many radiation beams from different directions intersect...

PURPOSE A novel end-to-end system using a CCD camera and a scintillator based phantom that is capable of measuring the beam-by-beam delivery accuracy of Robotic Radiosurgery has been developed and reported in our previous work. This work investigates its application to end-to-end type daily QA for Robotic Radiosurgery (Cyberknife) with Variable Aperture Collimator (Iris). METHODS The phantom ...
متن کاملCommissioning and acceptance testing of a CyberKnife linear accelerator
Acceptance testing and commissioning of a CyberKnife robotic stereotactic radiosurgery system was performed in April 2006. The CyberKnife linear accelerator produces a photon beam of 6 MV nominal energy, without the use of a flattening filter. Clinically measured tissue-phantom ratios, off-center ratios, and output factors are presented and compared with similar data from other CyberKnife sites...
متن کاملCyberKnife Robotic Radiosurgery of Three Pancreatic Metastases of Renal Cell Cancer in One Treatment Session
Introduction: Pancreatic metastasis accounts for 2% to 11% of all renal cell cancer (RCC) metastases. In good clinical status, patients are selected for surgery, and in more advanced disease, for systemic chemotherapy. Stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) and stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) do not play a therapeutic role so far. Materials Methods: A 57-year-old patient was treated with Cy...
