Halifax Health in Florida has become the first in the U.S. to treat cancer patients using the Accuray Radixact® System with VitalHold™ technology. This advanced system, housed at the Cancer Center for Hope – Port Orange, combines ClearRT® helical CT imaging and Synchrony® real-time adaptive delivery technologies to enhance precision in radiation delivery.
The VitalHold feature incorporates a fully integrated and automated surface-guided radiotherapy (SGRT) solution from C-RAD, offering benefits such as highly accurate patient positioning and enabling deep inspiration breath hold (DIBH) treatments. This technology aims to minimize radiation dose to organs at risk and supports tattoo-free positioning for improved patient comfort.
The implementation of this system demonstrates Halifax Health's commitment to providing cutting-edge cancer care to the Volusia County community, potentially improving treatment outcomes and patient quality of life.
