A board-certified radiation oncologist, Dr. Raj Dahiya practices at Premier Cancer Centers in Dallas, Texas. There, Dr. Raj Dahiya uses such advanced models as the CyberKnife M6 System, the center being an industry leader in the use of this system alongside other state-of-the-art tools.
Developed by Accuray, the CyberKnife system uses the precision of robotic-assisted imaging to deliver customized treatments. The system can target a tumor of less than a millimeter in diameter and can send radiation from a number of directions, including both isocentric and non-isocentric angles.
The CyberKnife M6 system brings this precision and comprehensive capability to radiation therapy. It incorporates multileaf collimator (MLC) beam shaping to target abnormal growth while avoiding healthy tissue.
The system features indication-specific tracking that allows for correction response during the treatment. Combined with the flexible motion of the robotic system, this feature allows the physician to target the CyberKnife precisely, even if the tumor shifts when the individual breathes. It also enables the care team to treat tumors at any location in the body with lower risk and less concern about harm due to patient movement.
