CyberKnife

The CyberKnife® System

The CyberKnife® is a state-of-the-art, radiotherapy equipment for robotic radiosurgery that allows radiation oncologists to treat pathologies painlessly, without the need for an operation.

CyberKnife® uses pencil beams of radiation which can be directed at any part of the body, from any direction with the help of a robotic arm. The system tracks the tumour’s position, detects any movement of the tumour or patient, and automatically corrects radiation delivery.

It then targets the tumour with multiple beams of high-energy radiation, destroying abnormal tissue without damaging surrounding areas…

How CyberKnife® works

CyberKnife® gives patients new hopes for treatment of tumours previously labeled as inoperable or untreatable. As mentioned earlier, the CyberKnife® uses pencil beams of radiation, that can be directed at any part of the body from any direction, via a robotic arm. The vast array of different angles/trajectories from which pencil beams of radiation converge upon the tumour lead to a high cumulative dose of radiation at the convergence point (the target/tumour), and yet a very fast ‘fall-off’ of dose towards the periphery of the carefully mapped target. The surrounding normal tissues/organs only receive a small fraction of the high dose to the target…

CyberKnife® with Synchrony

The Synchrony system is an additional, enhanced system that works along side the CyberKnife® System. According to Accuray (the manufacturer of CyberKnife®), the Synchrony system is the first technology in the world capable of delivering radiosurgery to tumours affected by the respiratory cycle. This includes tumours of the lungs, liver, kidney and pancreas.

Synchrony uses a complex system of cameras, motion tracking software, fibre-optic sensing technology, infrared emitters and a special tight-fitting elastic patient garment. As a patient undergoes CyberKnife® treatment the synchrony system continually identifies patient breathing movement in conjunction with the internally placed fiducial markers and then updates the treatment delivery of the radiation beams…

How is CyberKnife® different

Standard stereotactic radiosurgery techniques rely on a rigid frame fixed to the patient’s skull for head immobilization. There are other systems for extra-cranial Stereotactic Radiation. These systems are most often uncomfortable. If the target moves with the breathing of the patient, they often require breath holding techniques, which may be difficult for some patients. Frame-based systems mean there is a limit to the number of angles the radiation can be delivered through…
