Shanghai's First CyberKnife(R) System Installed at Major Academic Oncology Center
November 27, 2007




Install Marks the Fifth System in China and 121st
CyberKnife System Installation


    SUNNYVALE, Calif, Nov. 27 /Xinhua-PRNewswire/ --
Accuray Incorporated (Nasdaq: ARAY), a global leader in the
field of radiosurgery, announced today that Hua Shan
Hospital in Shanghai has installed a CyberKnife(R) Robotic
Radiosurgery System for its Pudong District facility. The
installation marks the first CyberKnife System in Shanghai
and the fifth System in China, providing greater patient
access to the benefits of robotic radiosurgery.

    "Hua Shan Hospital's reputation as a premier
provider of health care in Shanghai and the surrounding
region makes it a perfect location for the region's first
CyberKnife System," said Euan S. Thomson, Ph.D.,
president and chief executive officer of Accuray
Incorporated. "This installation is another step
toward universal access to CyberKnife radiosurgery as a
non-surgical option for cancer care." 

    The Hua Shan Hospital installation is the 121st
CyberKnife installation to date. China's previous four
CyberKnife Systems are located at Hong Kong Adventist
Hospital in Hong Kong, Shandong LuTai Tumour Hospital in
the Jinan Shandong Province, Tianjin Cancer Hospital in
Tianjin, and Ruikang Hospital in Nanning, Guangxi province.


    Hua Shan Hospital has been in partnership with Harvard
Medical International since 2001 and serves as the primary
teaching hospital of the Fudan University Medical School.
Hua Shan Hospital has created a network of facilities to
address the emerging needs of the country's people. The
network currently includes Hua Shan Hospital in Shanghai's
embassy district, Hua Shan Hospital in Pudong, and Nanchang
Zhonghuan Hospital. The hospital's facility in Pudong serves
as a center of excellence in oncology.

    About the CyberKnife(R) Robotic Radiosurgery System

    The CyberKnife Robotic Radiosurgery System is the
world's only robotic radiosurgery system designed to treat
tumors anywhere in the body non-invasively. Using continual
image guidance technology and computer controlled robotic
mobility, the CyberKnife System automatically tracks,
detects and corrects for tumor and patient movement in
real-time throughout the treatment. This enables the
CyberKnife System to deliver high-dose radiation with
pinpoint precision, which minimizes damage to surrounding
healthy tissue and eliminates the need for invasive head or
body stabilization frames.
