Front Radiat Ther Oncol. 2007:40:143-161. doi: 10.1159/000106033.

Abstract

The Cyberknife Robotic Radiosurgery System is used at the University of California at San Francisco to provide stereotactic treatments to a range of lesions throughout the body. Image guidance is an integral part of this system and is used in every treatment to provide adaptive control during the treatment. Clinical examples are given for various types of lesions using the different image guidance techniques that are available with this technology.
