Available only in few centres in Europe, Cyberknife is a robotic system that destroys cancerous tumours with high-dose beams of radiation in a process known as radiosurgery.

CyberKnife allows to treat cancerous tumours in any part of the body painlessly and without surgical intervention. It uses pencil beams of radiation, which are directed at any part of the body via a robotic arm. The treatment is able to target individual tumours with greater precision and minimum damage to the normal tissue, surrounding the tumour. As there is no open surgery, most patients return to normal life on the same day.

The CyberKnife System is an entirely new approach to radiosurgery and provides treatment opportunity to patients with previously untreatable conditions.

Although it is called a knife, it’s not a knife in a conventional sense. Instead, it’s a radiosurgical treatment that delivers highly precise radiation beams to destroy brain tumours and other abnormalities of the brain without surgery.

Gamma Knife is very precise and can target abnormal tissue while leaving normal tissue relatively untouched. Because of its accuracy, it is now possible to treat conditions that could not be treated effectively by conventional surgery or were considered inoperable.

It is also used for the treatment of facial pain, epilepsy and Parkinson's disease.

PET/CT scan is an innovative technology that combines two standard imaging devices Positron Emission Tomography (PET) and Computerized Tomography (CT). In one continuous full-body scan, PET captures images of even miniscule changes in metabolic processes caused by the growth of abnormal cells while CT determines their exact location and structure.

PET/CT scan allows early detection and exact diagnosis of the smallest cancer sites, which results in an immediate treatment.

The da Vinci Surgical System is a robotic surgical system designed to enable surgeons to perform even the most complex surgery using a minimally invasive approach with unmatched precision.

The da Vinci Surgical System provides an alternative to both traditional surgery and conventional laparoscopy. The DA Vinci System allows the surgeon to operate from a seated position at the console, with eyes and hands positioned in line with the instruments.

The benefits of such procedure include significantly less pain, less blood loss, quicker recovery times and in many cases better clinical outcomes.

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is a safe, totally painless, non-invasive way to examine the internal structure and function of the body.The images created during the exam look at the soft tissues as well as the bone and provide information that can improve the diagnosis.MRI scanner uses radio waves and magnetic field to create images of soft tissues as well as the bone which are then transferred onto an x-ray film for interpretation.

Most hospitals use traditional MRI scanners which require the patient to be "inside" the machine. Newer models allow to perform MRI scanning while the patient sits in a chair with only the leg or arm inside the magnet. Both, MRI and MRI Extremity scanners are available at London hospitals.
