The system was invented byJohn Adler, a Stanford University Professor of Neurosurgery and Radiation Oncology, and Peter and Russell Schonberg of Schonberg Research Corporation. It is made by the Accuray company headquartered in Sunnyvale, California.-is a frameless robotic radiosurgerysystem used for treating benign tumors, malignant tumors and other medical conditions.

The CyberKnife System uses image-guidance and computer controlled robotics to deliver multiple beams of high-energy radiation to the tumor from virtually any direction. Designed to treat tumors anywhere in the body with sub-millimeter accuracy, the CyberKnife System tracks the tumors position, detects any tumor or patient movement and automatically corrects the treatment delivery. This outpatient procedure does not require anesthesia or invasive stabilizing frames, allowing patients to breathe normally and rest comfortably, without constraints or frequent position adjustments, during treatment.

Most patients experience minimal recovery time and can return to normal activities almost immediately.

Another unique feature of CyberKnife is its use of three-dimensional (3D) terrain mapping and localization technology, similar to what the U.S. military uses to guide cruise missiles to targets hundreds of miles away.
