Accuray gets FDA nod for CyberKnife tool

Radiation therapy firm Accuray has received U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) 510(k) clearance for Lung Optimized Treatment, a new component on the company's CyberKnife VSI system.

The new technology is designed to facilitate treatment of tumors throughout the lung without having to implant fiducial markers, according to the Sunnyvale, CA-based vendor. It uses simulation and comparison workflow, combined with tracking modes, to provide clinicians with multiple noninvasive treatment options, Accuray said.
