The use of two scanning electron-beams integrated with the radiation therapy system provides real-time tumor tracking. By using an electronically steered electron source, it is possible to produce image in less than 1/10th of a second. Further, to improve the resulting image, the beam uses low energy X-rays to capture the image, resulting in a better contrast in the image for the real-time tracking.
Features
- Real-time tumor imaging
- < 1/10th second/image
- Optimized for imaging healthy tissue and cancerous tissue
- No mechanical rotation
- Reduced artifacts by eliminating a rotating gantry
- Highly reliable design
Benefits
- Real-time tracking of tumors
- Dynamically adjust for body movement
- Excellent image contrast
- Allows users to minimize dose to healthy tumor, while maximizing dose to cancerous cells
- Motionless imaging reduces operational cost and warranty costs
