Technology
Image guidance for a beating and breathing target
Transform live signals of the heart into a gating signal to the treatment machine.
01 / In the treatment room
Live 3D heart positioning
Direct positioning of the heart in the room using a custom ultrasound solution.An ECG setup tracks the heartbeats.
02 / Why radiotherapy
Reach the target without a catheter
Non-invasive
No catheter, no access site. The dose reaches the scar from outside the body.
Outpatient
One session. The patient goes home the same day.
No anesthesia
Faster recovery from the procedure.
Bragg peak
Protons beams deliver the dose at the chosen depth.
03 / Why ultrasound
Live imaging that can run during the whole procedure
Zero dose
No radiation from the imaging.
Sees the heart
The heart itself, not a surrogate.
Real time
Fast enough to follow the heartbeat.
