FDA Clears CyberKnife for Full-Body Tumour Treatment
In August 2001, the US Food and Drug Administration cleared the CyberKnife Robotic Radiosurgery System for treatment of tumours anywhere in the body, extending an earlier 1999 clearance limited to the head and neck. The system uses real-time image guidance and robotic positioning to deliver radiation with sub-millimetre accuracy.
