We bring our patients together with the latest medical technology.
Cyber Knife
The first and only fully robotic radiotherapy device that automatically tracks and corrects for anatomical and tumor movement in real-time to deliver highly precise radiation.
Intelligent, Moving Target Eradication
Unlike standard radiotherapy systems that rotate on a fixed axis, the CyberKnife mounts a lightweight linear accelerator on a highly maneuverable robotic arm. This allows radiation to be beamed at the tumor from thousands of different angles.
Its standout feature is synchronous motion tracking. As the patient breathes and the tumor shifts, the robot continuously tracks the target via internal imaging, dynamically moving its arm to keep the radiation beam locked on the malignancy.
Advantages
-
Dynamic Target Tracking
Automatically adjusts to patient breathing or movement in real-time without pausing the treatment.
-
Frameless Comfort
Eliminates the agonizing need to screw rigid metal head-frames into the patient's skull.
-
Infinite Delivery Angles
The robotic arm negotiates around vital organs, ensuring the maximum dose hits the tumor from safe trajectories.
Considerations
-
Extended Treatment Sessions
Because the robot continually adjusts, individual treatment sessions can take significantly longer than standard machines.
-
Fiducial Placements
May require a minor preview procedure to implant tiny gold tracking markers (fiducials) in soft-tissue tumors.
-
Not for Widespread Disease
Designed to hunt specific, discrete tumors rather than treating whole organ systems or widespread metastases.
