Fig 1 CyberKnife stereotactic radiation system demonstrating a robotically mounted linear accelerator, one (of two) ceiling-mounted x-ray localizing sources, and two table-mounted image localizing detectors. The simulated patient head is immobilized with a custom-fitted face mask, while a plastic body cradle is used for stabilization of the torso when lung tumors are treated. The Annals of Thoracic Surgery , DOI: ( /S (02) )

Fig 2 Variation in position of fiducials during single stereotactic radiosurgery treatment. In any given direction, the targets move a maximum of 3.8 mm. The Annals of Thoracic Surgery , DOI: ( /S (02) )

Fig 3 Chest radiograph of patient showing a right upper lobe lung nodule with four fiducials placed into or near the tumor (arrow points to one of the fiducials). The Annals of Thoracic Surgery , DOI: ( /S (02) )

Fig 4 Computed tomography–generated isodose curves for right upper lobe tumor demonstrated in Figure 3. The dark red curve marks the 1,500-cGy curve; each curve represents an increment of 500 cGy. The Annals of Thoracic Surgery , DOI: ( /S (02) )
