Advantages of the CyberKnife® include:

• Extremely accurate radiation targeting means a biologically ablative dose of radiation can be used, offering the patient a better chance for a cure
  
  
• No invasive head frame or other rigid immobilization device is required
  
  
• The ability to perform radiosurgery (1-5 fractions) on targets throughout the body, not just the brain
  
  
• Precise targeting (within 1 mm) of selected lesions
  in the brain and body
  
  
• A unique ability to provide real time monitoring of the treated target throughout treatment using an advanced image-guidance system
  
  
• Continually checks and compensates for any movement made during treatments, ensuring accuracy
  
  
• The capacity to perform fractionated radiosurgery
  
  
• Eliminates risks related to surgery, including potential infection, complication from anesthesia and post-operative bleeding
  
  
• Requires no recovery time. Treatments are done on an outpatient basis
  
  
• Patients undergo their treatment and immediately resume normal daily activities
  
  
• Painless treatment
  
  
• Requires minimal or no sedation
  
  
• No Incisions
  
  
• Low risk of complications
  
  
• Improved quality of life
