St. Luke's Episcopal Hospital to Add CyberKnife System to Treatment Offerings
Date:7/24/2008

ll. Because the CyberKnife System combines robotics and sophisticated real-time imaging technology, it is capable of delivering high doses of radiation to tumors anywhere in the body with sub-millimeter accuracy. These capabilities eliminate the need for invasive head and body frames, which other systems require to immobilize the patient for tumor tracking. The robotic arm also enables the system to target tumors that are unreachable by other radiosurgery systems or surgery. As a result, the CyberKnife System offers new hope to patients who are considered inoperable, have surgically complex tumors, or are seeking an alternative to surgery.

"St. Luke's is renowned for its commitment to the highest standards of neurological and neurosurgical patient care," said Euan S. Thomson, Ph.D., president and CEO of Accuray. "We are pleased to be working with them to offer their patients a non-invasive alternative to brain surgery and other cancer treatments."

About the CyberKnife(R) Robotic Radiosurgery System

The CyberKnife Robotic Radiosurgery System is the world's only robotic radiosurgery system designed to treat tumors anywhere in the body non-invasively. Using continual image guidance technology and computer controlled robotic mobility, the CyberKnife System automatically tracks, detects and corrects for tumor and patient movement in real-time throughout the treatment. This enables the CyberKnife System to deliver high-dose radiation with pinpoint precision, which minimizes damage to surrounding healthy tissue and eliminates the need for invasive head or body stabilization frames.
