Robotic Surgery Cyber Knife: New Method for Surgery by Accuray Inc

In the surgery world will continued for innovation. Now we can see the robot to use knife for surgery. The machine made by Accuray Incorporated that awarded Frost and Sullivan in the medical. The CyberKnife® Robotic Radiosurgery System is the world's only robotic radiosurgery system designed to treat tumors anywhere in the body non-invasively and with sub-millimeter accuracy

Accuray gives cancer patients another treatment option with the development of the world’s first and only dedicated radiosurgery device; the CyberKnife® Robotic Radiosurgery System

The CyberKnife® Robotic Radiosurgery System is the world’s first and only radiosurgery system designed to treat tumors anywhere in the body with sub-millimeter accuracy. Using image guidance technology and computer controlled robotics, the CyberKnife System is designed to continuously track the tumor, detect its location and correct for tumor and patient movement in real-time throughout the treatment. Because of its extreme precision, the CyberKnife System does not require invasive head or body frames to stabilize patient movement, vastly increasing the system’s flexibility.Unlike traditional radiosurgery systems that can only treat tumors in the head and neck, the CyberKnife System can treat both intracranial and extracranial tumors. In fact, extracranial treatments currently represent more than 50 percent of CyberKnife System procedures in the United States, including those of the spine, lung, prostate, liver and pancreas. The CyberKnife System provides an additional option to many patients diagnosed with previously inoperable or surgically complex tumors, or patients who may be looking for an alternative to surgery

Accuray Incorporated is a global leader in the field of radiosurgery dedicated to providing an improved quality of life and a non-surgical treatment option for those diagnosed with cancer.Accuray's history began when John R. Adler, M.D., professor of neurosurgery and radiation oncology at Stanford University Medical Center, developed the CyberKnife® System in 1987 after completing a fellowship in Sweden with Lars Leksell, M.D., the founder of radiosurgery. With the CyberKnife System, Adler’s vision was to develop a non-invasive robotic radiosurgery system with superior accuracy for treatment of tumors anywhere in the body. The revolutionary concept reached far beyond the practice of radiosurgery at the time, which restricted radiosurgery to the treatment of intracranial tumors.
After his initial work developing the CyberKnife System, Adler together with a group from Stanford and a manufacturer of linac technology teamed up and founded Accuray Incorporated in 1990. Cleared by the FDA for the treatment of head, neck and upper spine tumors in 1999, the CyberKnife System was the first and only commercially available radiosurgery system to combine image guidance and computer controlled robotics giving birth to the next generation in intelligent robotic radiosurgery.
