CyberKnife Radiosurgery Benefits

• Extremely accurate radiation targeting means a biologically ablative dose of radiation can be used, offering the patient a better chance for a cure
• No invasive head frame or other rigid immobilization device is required
• The ability to perform radiosurgery (1-5 fractions) on targets throughout the body, not just the brain
• Precise targeting (within 1 mm) of selected lesions in the brain and body
• A unique ability to provide real time monitoring of the treated target throughout treatment using an advanced image-guidance system
• Continually checks and compensates for any movement made during treatments, ensuring accuracy
• The capacity to perform fractionated radiosurgery
• Eliminates risks related to surgery, including potential infection, complication from anesthesia and post-operative bleeding
