Abstract
The robotic mobility of the CyberKnife System enables the flexibility of delivering a large number of non-coplanar beams, which enhances target dose conformity and creates steep dose gradients, thus reduces dose to surrounding critical structures. However, a typical CyberKnife treatment plan for stereotactic radiotherapy utilizes approximately 150 - 200 beams to deliver a conformal dose distribution to the target. This makes the CyberKnife treatment delivery time significantly longer than that of a regular linac-based treatment.
