Abstract :
Abstract In order to control motion, the CyberKnife uses continuous X-ray and optic image guiding to send out a plethora of precisely targeted, non-coplanar radiation beams. The delivery of stereotactic body radiation therapy has been greatly improved by this method, which allows for the focused delivery of tumour dose while sparing surrounding normal tissue. Covering topics such as pretreatment patient setup, treatment planning, and treatment delivery, this chapter gives an overview of the CyberKnife system from the perspective of a particular institution. It also covers capabilities like as target monitoring and motion management. The original idea of the CyberKnife was to create a more advanced focused stereotactic radiosurgery technology. Many technical advancements have been made to the CyberKnife since its developer, Dr. John Adler, treated the first patient with it in 1994 at Stanford University Medical Centre. Technical advancements have made it possible to treat tumours in different places, including tumours that migrate, expanding the original treatment window from brain tumours to other types of tumours.
