- 60% of CyberKnife treatments in the US are extra-cranial
- Over 80,000 patients have now been treated worldwide
- 190 systems have been installed worldwide
Prostate treatment time has been reduced to 30 minutes. Robotic IMRT treatment time is now down to 20 minutes or less. The IMRT capability a significant benefit to having a CyberKnife, but not where Accuray is headed. Robotic radiosurgery remains the primary emphasis.
