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.

BEAM GATE SIGNAL TARGET IN PLACE, BEAM ON TARGET DRIFTS, BEAM HOLDS ULTRASOUND SEES THE HEART TARGET

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.

Drop-in

Works with the proton and photon machines already installed.
