Enhancing patient safety and precision for treatments on Halcyon®, Ethos™ and (coming soon) Radixact® linear accelerators
Set up outside. Track inside.
Shadowing inside the bore during radiotherapy treatments can make accurate patient setup and monitoring challenging, potentially impacting treatment precision.
AlignRT InBore combines the benefits of ceiling-mounted AlignRT cameras for patient setup with an innovative, miniaturized SGRT ring camera system mounted within the bore to eliminate shadowing during treatment. This approach provides a comprehensive end-to-end SGRT solution for patients undergoing treatment on bore-based treatment platforms without the physical design of the bore-based system compromising the SGRT benefits.
Published clinical data shows:
Faster total treatment time¹
Accurate and reproducible DIBH²
High detection accuracy for setup and monitoring³
Published data from UCSD demonstrates that using AlignRT for setup can reduce treatment times, reduce repeat imaging and improve patient position accuracy by reducing residual rotational errors.¹
Mean total treatment time reduced by 5% after AlignRT implementation¹
50% reduction in the number of fractions requiring setup correction and additional imaging fields¹
