SBRT Cyberknife exploratory visit today

I had the mridian machine with 3 mm margins. The built-in MRI is the reason that the margins were able to be so small as everything is done in real time.

I have read that the Proton Therapy S7 machines use smaller margins than the older Proton Therapy machines but no Proton Therapy machine has real time built-in MRI at least not yet.

My side effects were minimal.

thanks bens1 .I did get your advice previously regarding mri linac in Florida. Thought I would listen to cyberknife and you can read more in response to jc76. The cyberknife imaging result looks similiar to mri. I just learned that the RO picks the margins with mri linac specifically. I thought it was always 2mm with mri linac. This cyberknife RO gave me two hours of time and answered all my questions.
