CyberKnife Radiosurgery for Pancreatic Lesions
Targeting Angles
Traditional radiotherapy systems target the lesion from a relatively small number of fixed positions . In contrast, the inherently noncoplanar geometry of the CyberKnife® device allows literally hundreds of targeting angles to be selected, increasing the ability to conform the ablative dose to the target lesion within the pancreas, while better sparing all of the surrounding normal GI tissues.
