CyberKnife ® Dynamic 4D Image-Guided Radiosurgery Suite

Compact Linear Accelerator with Express™

The compact X-band linear accelerator emits circular beams with secondary collimation ranging from 5 mm to 60 mm. This compact lightweight system allows for precisely delivered pencil-shaped beams of radiation in almost any direction, providing superior conformality when treating tumors.

Robotic Manipulator

The robotic manipulator used by the CyberKnife System is made by Kuka™, one of the leading robot manufacturers in the world. This high-precision robot is capable of delivering a reproducible accuracy of less than 0.2 mm.

X-Ray Sources

The low-energy x-ray sources generate two perpendicular, oblique, diagnostic x-rays that determine the location of bony landmarks or implanted radiopaque markers throughout the entire treatment.

Image Detectors

The high-resolution image detectors capture x-ray images and generate digital images of the anatomy. These images, which are taken throughout treatment, are compared to the digitally reconstructed radiographs (DRRs) generated from the CT scans used for treatment planning. The imaging system then determines the patient’s position and sends a command to the robotic manipulator to correct for movement.

AXUM™ Treatment Couch

The AXUM™ Automatic Patient Positioning System automatically and accurately aligns patients in one simple step, significantly reducing patient setup times and increasing patient throughput.

Synchrony™ Respiratory Tracking System

The Synchrony Respiratory Tracking System is the first technology in the world capable of delivering dynamic radiosurgery to targets that move with respiration. The CyberKnife System synchronizes the Robotic Delivery System to the motion of the tumor so margins of less than a millimeter are needed in order to compensate for respiratory motions.

CyberKnife Treatment Planning System

The CyberKnife Treatment Planning System uses inverse and conformal planning techniques, which capitalize on the strengths of the CyberKnife System’s unique treatment delivery model.

CyRIS™ InView™ Image Fusion and Contouring Station

With CyRIS InView, physicians are able to perform fusion, contouring, and dose review in the comfort of their own office or other remote location.
