The
CyberKnife® System from Accuray is the world’s most accurate
radiosurgery instrument. It establishes a new gold standard in
radiosurgery by precisely ablating tumors and other lesions
anywhere in the body. Using image guidance, robotics and dynamic
respiratory motion tracking, the CyberKnife System delivers
superior accuracy and conformality. In fact, as the first device
to enable full-body dynamic radiosurgery, the CyberKnife is
making possible effective new treatments in clinical areas such
as spine, lung, liver, and pancreas. Because many patients are
in pain both physically and psychologically, and the treatment
lasts for hours, we designed a "home like", comfortable
environment with the artwork, furnishings and fabric. The
finishings included lots of wood and a carpeted floor for a less
institutional look. The ceiling is coved with dimmable lights
for a calming atmosphere. A state-of-the-art sound system
with a touch screen control pad at the control desk was
installed so patients can listen to their favorite music or
radio station during treatment. Parkview Regional Cancer Center
is the first facility in the area – and one of only two in the
state of Indiana – to offer this treatment option. The equipment
vendor was so pleased with the design and installation of the
CyberKnife that they are going to use it as their new design
standard for future installations.
