Advances in fiducial‐free image‐guidance for spinal radiosurgery with CyberKnife – a phantom study

The image‐guided CyberKnife radiosurgery system is capable of tracking spinal targets without fiducial implants. Recently, a new version of this fiducial‐free image guidance modality (“enhanced Xsight spine tracking”) has been introduced. We assessed the accuracy of this novel technique versus its p...
