    The CyberKnife system utilizes a 6 MV X-band linear accelerator on a 6DOF robotic arm for precise cancer treatment.

  • 2

    It allows for frameless, semi-automated treatment, enabling patients to breathe normally during procedures.

  • 3

    The system has evolved since its introduction in 1994, with six generations released by 2020, enhancing its capabilities.

  • 4

    CyberKnife's advanced tracking algorithms enable sub-millimeter accuracy for both static and moving tumor targets.

  • 5

    Clinical applications of CyberKnife include re-irradiation settings, dose prescriptions, and survival outcomes.
