CyberKnife® M6™ Series (including configurations: M6 Neuro, M6 FI, M6 FIM, & M6 FM)The CyberKnife M6 Systems are computer-controlled medical systems for planning and performing minimally invasive stereotactic radiosurgery and precision radiotherapy. They use a 6 MV linear accelerator mounted on a manipulator (robot) and a target locating subsystem to accurately deliver high-energy radiation (1000 MU/minute dose rate) to the treatment target. The target locating subsystem provides X-rays of the treatment area that lets the user know the position of the target.The CyberKnife M6 Systems use skull tracking, fiducial tracking (tracking of implanted radiographic markers), skeletal structure tracking, lung tumor tracking, Lung Optimized Treatment, and Synchrony Respiratory Tracking for dynamic positioning and pointing of the linear accelerator. The fixed, variable aperture and multileaf collimators are available as various beam-limiting secondary collimators.
An assembly of devices designed to produce high-energy electrons to yield high-energy x-rays used for therapeutic applications, primarily to treat cancer. It provides a uniform radiation field of uniform intensity and predictable energy level, in a beam with well defined dimensions. The principle of operation is linear acceleration of electrons by means of electromagnetic (EM) microwaves. The output is used as a treatment beam on the patient, either directly or after passing a suitable target. The system typically includes signal analysis and display devices, patient and device supports, and software.
