MercyOne Robotics
CyberKnife® is the only robotic radiotherapy device to deliver precise doses of radiation with extreme accuracy. It uses a linear accelerator mounted to a flexible jointed robotic arm to provide up to 1,200 different angles for physicians to reach a variety of tumors both benign and malignant. Surgeons synchronize CyberKnife® with patient movements, including breathing, to allow pinpoint radiation treatment even on moving tumors.
- MercyOne Richard Deming Cancer Center offers cancer patients with Iowa’s only flexible stereotactic radiosurgery system (SRS)-- CyberKnife®.
