1st spine case done without fiducials


Wijaya created history today with treatment of spine tumour without using any fiducials. Usually fiducial is required for tracking the location of the tumour. The insertion of these fiducials can be very painful. Today the treatment was done painlessly using a software called xSight. The patient was a 10 year old girl with spinal meningioma. Today's case is the first xSight treatment in the world outside United States. Photo showed patient (front row) with our Cyberknife team.
