Updated: 7 days ago
The Accuray CyberKnife is a robotic radiation therapy system that delivers stereotactic radiosurgery and SBRT. The manufacturer does not publish a price. This review covers its specifications, features and uses.
Quick Verdict
CyberKnife uses a robot to aim the radiation beam from thousands of non-coplanar angles, which supports SRS and SBRT anywhere in the body. Its Synchrony system, described as AI-driven, tracks the target in real time and adapts delivery automatically when the patient or tumour moves. Accuray cites sub-millimetre clinical accuracy, treatments as short as 15 minutes and hypofractionated protocols. Planning runs on Accuray Precision with the VOLO Optimizer and AutoSegmentation, with RayStation and Brainlab Elements support. The page does not detail the robot or imaging hardware.
