The CyberKnife System enables same-day or multiple-day treatment processes --
providing the ultimate in clinical flexibility.

Step 1 – Patient Consultation

• Physician and patient meet to determine the CyberKnife System treatment objectives.

Step 2 – Patient Preparation

• CyberKnife is a completely frameless treatment system. When necessary, fiducials may be placed to

further enhance the accuracy of extracranial treatments.

Step 3 – Image Acquisition

• CT, PET, MR, and 3D Angio images can be quickly and easily acquired at the patient’s convenience.

Because no head frames are used, the images can be acquired days or weeks before treatment.

Step 4 – Pre-Planning

• CyRIS™ InView™ Image Fusion and Contouring Station is designed to streamline the pre-planning step of

image preparation and tumor volume definition. This capability enables physicians to complete this process within minutes, either from the

hospital or remotely from their private practice or clinic.

Step 5 – Treatment Planning

• Advanced conformal and inverse planning tools enable simple and complex treatment plans. CyRIS InView

supports on-site and remote fusion of CT, PET, MR, and 3D Angio and provides intuitive dose-review

capabilities.

Step 6 – Treatment Delivery

• The CyberKnife System is the only device available today that continuously monitors patient and target

position, and automatically corrects for any motion throughout treatment. When combined with the

Synchrony Respiratory Tracking System, the CyberKnife System stands alone as the world’s most

innovative full-body stereotactic radiosurgery solution.
