Description

During certain CyberKnife treatments, the patient may wear a Synchrony vest. This vest tracks the movement of a patient's chest while breathing. The CyberKnife is able to follow this movement through sensors on the vest and only radiate the tumor while sparing surrounding healthy tissue.
