How does Cyberknife work?

CyberKnife is a state-of-the-art technology used to treat various conditions, including cancerous and noncancerous tumors. It utilizes a robotic arm and advanced imaging to deliver highly precise radiation therapy. The procedure begins with a thorough assessment of the patient's condition through imaging tests. These images are then used to create a personalized treatment plan. During the treatment, the patient lies on a comfortable table, and the CyberKnife system moves around them, delivering targeted radiation to the tumor from different angles. Real-time imaging ensures that the treatment is accurately directed to the tumor while adjusting for any patient movement. One unique feature of CyberKnife is its ability to track and automatically correct for tumor movement caused by breathing or other bodily functions. This ensures that surrounding healthy tissues are preserved, minimizing side effects. Overall, CyberKnife offers a noninvasive, painless, and highly precise treatment option for a wide range of tumors, providing patients with an effective alternative to surgery.
