Treatments use the XSight® software package which enables CyberKnife® to use the spine itself to provide reference markers. This avoids the need to implant metal fiducials around the tumour site. As you breathe in and out your spine moves too, carrying any tumour or abnormality with it. XSight enables CyberKnife to track the target between each dose of radiation, enabling a fine focus on the desired target and sparing surrounding tissue.

For more information on spine treatments we suggest that you visit the spine page of the CyberKnife manufacturer's web site. As protocols are developed and extended Accuray Inc update their materials accordingly. You can be sure of finding the latest published information on this area of treatment, though you cannot apply for treatment there.
Individual CyberKnife centres may adopt slightly different approaches to which cases they will treat and how they will treat them, including how many treatment sessions are required.
