Accuray announced that the CyberKnife Center Salzburg is the first in Austria to treat patients with the CyberKnife System, expanding access to stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) and ultra-hypofractionated stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT).
The CyberKnife Center Salzburg's team used the Accuray CyberComm technology to commission their system, the latest-generation CyberKnife S7 System, making it possible for them to more quickly begin treating patients.
The CyberKnife System facilitates ultra-hypofractionated radiation therapy – very high doses of precisely targeted radiation are delivered in a few days versus conventional fractionation where treatments often require 30-40 sessions. The entire procedure is typically completed in just one to five out-patient sessions, providing access to radiation therapy delivered with sub-millimeter accuracy for people who are unable to travel a month or more for care.
