Near real-time images allow for patient movement tracking within 1mm spatial accuracy. The CyberKnife references the position of the treatment target to internal radiographic features such as the skull, bony landmarks or implanted fiducials rather than a frame. The CyberKnife uses real-time … Read more/radonc/wp-content/uploads/sites/815/2018/07/cyberknife2sm.jpg
