Article Synopsis
- The study explored the use of radiation to treat cardiac arrhythmia by creating scar tissue to block abnormal signals, replacing current methods using RF energy.
- The CyberKnife system delivered targeted doses of 20-35 Gy to animal models, while tracking respiratory motion to assess treatment accuracy.
- Measurements showed that the actual doses delivered were lower than expected, particularly on the esophagus, highlighting challenges in treatment planning related to the motion of the heart and surrounding structures.
