Systems and methods for characterizing cancer cells are disclosed. In certain embodiments, the systems and methods involve coating a first chamber with ECM material and adding a first plurality of cells to the first chamber, adding media to a second chamber, and adding a second plurality of cells and media to a third chamber. The first, second, and third chambers are then clipped together to form a chamber array. The chamber array is mounted to an electric cell impedance sensing reader and impedance readouts of cell invasion are collected from the electric array at time intervals. Cells detected to invade into the second chamber are extracted and characterized.

A system for delivery of high dosage of radiation to a targeted spinal area is provided. This is accomplished by a system which provides for precise immobilization and positioning of the treated spinal area during dose planning and treatment via stereotactic radiosurgery. Advantages of the system include convenience to the patient, enhanced efficacy, and reduced risk of radiotoxicity to non-target tissues.
