Cyberknife
Joanne Ruitman doesn't have cancer but she demonstrates here, wearing only street clothes, how easy it is to go under the cyberknife.
The Radiosurgery Robot is computer guided and uses a concentrated radiation beam to zero in only on a tumor.
Dr. Leland Rogers says "You're giving a very large dose in one to five treatments, large enough to kill all of the cells -- all of the cancer cells."
Collateral damage to normal tissue is minimal if any at all, but the tumor is destroyed.
The machine constantly tracks the cancer in real time even as the patient breathes or moves slightly.
Without a single incision, the beam kills cancers like brain tumors with sub-millimeter precision, without the need of a skull piercing head frame.
Cyberknife sends the beam through various sizes of the columnators.
Moving ever so gracefully, it follows computerized x-ray images and laser guidance, painting with an invisible sphere every edge and curve of the villain - until it is no more.
And it really doesn't matter where that villain is!
Dr. Rogers says "In terms of the physical ability to targeting any tumor in the body - yes -this can do that."
More than 280 tons of -concrete were used to build a special vault that houses cyberknife.
Patients are treated on an outpatient basis - and return home usually within an hour or two. emoApplause
UT Knoxville has one of these, there is one in Georgia somewhere.
I view this on WRCB TV CHANNEL 3 news (http://www.wrcbtv.com/features/eyeonhealth).
