- To Treat Patients with Cancer Using the Accuray Radixact® Radiation Delivery System and VitalHold™ Technology
Announcement
Accuray Incorporated announced that Gifu Prefectural General Medical Center is setting a new standard in cancer care in Japan as the first hospital in the country to treat patients with surface-guided radiation therapy (SGRT) using the company's Radixact® Radiation Delivery System and VitalHold™* package.
AI Summary
Accuray Incorporated announced a significant advancement in cancer care at Japan's Gifu Prefectural General Medical Center. This facility is the first in Japan to use surface-guided radiation therapy (SGRT) with Accuray’s Radixact® Radiation Delivery System and VitalHold™ package. SGRT uses high-resolution cameras that create a 3-dimensional map of the patient’s skin, ensuring accurate alignment during radiation treatment. This precision is critical for techniques like deep inspiration breath hold (DIBH), which helps protect the heart during left breast cancer treatments. By employing these innovative technologies, the hospital is improving patient positioning and monitoring throughout each treatment session. This move is set to enhance treatment accuracy and expand access to high precision radiation therapies, marking a new standard in cancer care in Japan.
