Academic Center to Establish Full Set of Offerings for Cancer Patients in Belgium

SUNNYVALE, California, December 14 - Accuray Incorporated (Nasdaq: ARAY), a global leader in the field of
radiosurgery, announced today that the first CyberKnife(R) Robotic
Radiosurgery System in Belgium will be installed at the University Hospital
of Liege.

The University Hospital in Liege, a 1,000-bed hospital, is one of the
largest hospitals in Euregio, a cross-country region of 18 million
inhabitants.

"With a full range of cancer treatments, University Hospital of Liege is
delivering on its promise to offer comprehensive, state-of-the-art cancer
care to patients across Belgium," said Professor Philippe Coucke, Head of the
Radiation Oncology Department, University Hospital of Liege. "Because of its
accuracy and non-invasive nature, the CyberKnife System can offer an
alternative to patients who may not be able to tolerate other cancer
treatments or who have medically inoperable tumors."

According to the International Agency for Research on Cancer, the total
number of new cases of cancer in Europe has increased by approximately
300,000 since 2004. With an estimated 3.2 million new cases and 1.7 million
deaths each year, cancer remains an important public health issue in Europe.
The situation described by the Belgian Cancer Registry is similar, with
57,185 new cancer cases reported in 2005.

"We are extremely excited to see the benefits of whole body radiosurgery
expand into Belgium," said Frederic Sottilini, General Manager, Accuray EIMEA
(Europe, India, Middle East and Africa). "This purchase paves the way for
greater patient access to CyberKnife radiosurgery, thereby providing patients
an additional treatment option that can improve their quality of life."

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.
