The CyberKnife is a frameless robotic radiosurgery system used for treating benign tumors, malignant tumors and other medical conditions.〔(Radiosurgery/Cyberknife ). Stanford School of Medicine〕〔Coste-Manière, E. et al. (1 March 2005) ("Robotic Whole Body Stereotactic Radiosurgery: Clinical Advantages of the CyberKnife® Integrated System" ). ''Robotics Online''. 〕 The system was invented by John R. Adler, a Stanford University professor of neurosurgery and radiation oncology, and Peter and Russell Schonberg of Schonberg Research Corporation. It is made by the Accuray company headquartered in Sunnyvale, California. The CyberKnife system is a method of delivering radiotherapy, with the intention of targeting treatment more accurately than standard radiotherapy.〔Plowman, Nick. (How CyberKnife Works ). London HCA〕 The two main elements of the CyberKnife are: # the radiation produced from a small linear particle accelerator (linac) # a robotic arm which allows the energy to be directed at any part of the body from any direction ==Main features== Several generations of the CyberKnife system have been developed since its initial inception in 1990. There are two major features of the CyberKnife system that are different from other stereotactic therapy methods. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「cyberknife」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
