HOW INCISE™ MLC TREATMENTS WORK Every treatment consists of multiple, individually targeted, non-isocentric, non-coplanar beams
Each beam may consist of one or more MLC segments
Dose shaping and modulation achieved by step-and-shoot process
• Each unique robot position and tumor intersect point = 1 beam
• Each unique MLC shape = 1 segment

Conclusion
•Evaluation demonstrated that the MLC is a reliable device,
capable of accurate treatments – No modifications were required
•The second patient treatment worldwide utilizing the
CyberKnife® MLC was at Lacks Cancer Center on
March 2, 2015 – Approx 25 patients planned, and 15 treated with MLC
Cranial, Prostate, Spine, Liver
•Benefits of MLC compared to Iris™/Fixed: – Approximately 30% faster treatment
– Integral dose reduced by 28% (over a limited volume)
– Number of beams reduced by 66%
