Enhancing patient safety and precision for treatments on Halcyon®, Ethos™ and (coming soon) Radixact® linear accelerators
Visibility Inside the Bore
Shadowing inside the bore during radiotherapy treatments can make accurate patient monitoring challenging, potentially impacting treatment precision¹.
AlignRT InBore combines the benefits of ceiling-mounted AlignRT cameras for patient setup with a dual camera system mounted on a ring within the bore. This helps maintain full visibility of the tracking region through setup, imaging and treatment.
Published clinical data shows:
5% faster total treatment time²
Accurate and reproducible DIBH³
High accuracy for setup and monitoring⁴

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.²
- 50% reduction in the number of fractions requiring setup correction and additional imaging fields².
Hear from users on their clinical experiences:
“AlignRT InBore guided breath-hold provides reliable intra-fraction motion control with appropriate margins for whole breast and abdominal lymphoma patients.”
Xinran Zhong, PhD, DABR, University of Texas Southwestern
“Setup is a lot faster than what it used to be.”
Gail Anastasi, Principal Radiotherapy Physicist, Royal Surrey Cancer Centre

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, through Varian’s Verification and Validation Process, AlignRT InBore is compatible with Halcyon versions 2.0, 3.0, 3.1, and 4.0 and Ethos versions 1.0 and 2.0.
AlignRT InBore for Radixact is currently in development, with commercial availability expected in late 2025, depending on the territory and when the associated regulatory clearance is obtained. Vision RT is working with Accuracy to ensure the compatibility and connectivity of AlignRT InBore for Radixact.
Varian is currently developing an interface to connect motion management technology with Halcyon and Ethos Radiotherapy Systems. This architecture, similar to MMI on TrueBeam, is expected to be released soon. Once the interface specification is available, Vision RT will have access through Varian’s Interoperability program.
