Radiation therapy to the thoracic and abdominal region is challenging due to the inherent movement caused by the respiratory cycle. The target may vary from day to day, affecting the position of internal organs, which need to be carefully managed to maximize the dose to the target and reduce the dose to healthy tissues. With the growing trend toward delivering safe and effective SBRT treatments, it is crucial to have the best technology options to manage this in an efficient, patient-centered manner.
That’s why we created our Respiratory Module.
This is a comprehensive solution that unlocks new possibilities and is designed to expand clinical options in movement management. This cutting-edge module is fully integrated with AlignRT, offering unparalleled support for phase, amplitude and backup gating, with simultaneous real-time monitoring in six degrees of freedom.
While Deep Apnea is a simple and effective technique for reducing patient movement, not all patients can tolerate it, and it may not be clinically appropriate. The Respiratory Module was designed with these patients in mind.
