Abstract
Reports on robotic technologies that allow oncology physicians to provide radiation therapy that is more targeted and causes less damage to surrounding tissue, enabling use of stronger radiation doses and necessitating fewer treatments. Radiation oncology machines equipped with robotic vision to sense the patient; Image-guided robotic surgery system called CyberKnife.
