The Technology Will Play an Important Role in the Hospital's Plan to Expand Patient Access to High Precision Radiation Therapy Treatments
MADISON, Wis., Sept. 10, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Accuray Incorporated (NASDAQ: ARAY) announced today that Gifu Prefectural General Medical Center is setting a new standard in cancer care in Japan as the first hospital in the country to treat patients with surface-guided radiation therapy (SGRT) using the company's Radixact® Radiation Delivery System and VitalHold™* package. SGRT is designed to help medical care teams to effectively position the patient and confidently monitor the accuracy of that positioning throughout treatment. The ability to confidently monitor also enables the deep inspiration breath hold (DIBH) technique, which is often used in left breast cancer treatment to help protect the heart from radiation.
During treatment with SGRT, high resolution cameras continuously monitor a patient's breathing and position in real-time to create a 3-dimensional map of a patient's skin. The image enables medical care teams to easily visualize the difference between the current body position and the target position, helping to ensure the patient is appropriately positioned when radiation is delivered.
