  • The Cyberknife: a frameless robotic system for radiosurgery.

    Adler JR, Chang SD, Murphy MJ, Doty J, Geis P, Hancock SL. Stereotact Funct Neurosurg. 1997; 69 (1-4 Pt 2): 124-8

    The Cyberknife is a unique instrument for performing frameless stereotactic radiosurgery. Rather than using rigid immobilization, the Cyberknife relies on an image-to-image correlation algorithm for target localization. Furthermore, the system utilizes a novel, light-weight, high-energy radiation source. The authors describe the technical specifications of the Cyberknife and summarize the initial clinical experience.
