Personalized, precise treatments tailored to each patient's needs

 

The Radix System offers clinicians the flexibility to deliver treatment from clinician-specified beam angles with TomoDirect™ mode, or by continuous delivery of radiation from 360 degrees around the patient using TomoHelical™ mode, resulting in highly accurate, individualized dose distributions that precisely conform to the shape of the patient's tumour

A built-in CT scanner performs daily imaging before each treatment session. The daily imaging capability makes it possible for clinicians to identify and correct for any variations in patient positioning, changes in a tumour or in other factors, such as weight gain or loss, to ensure the continued precise and safe delivery of the radiation dose to the target area

Fully-integrated and easy to use, an adaptive treatment planning solution called PreciseART™ Adaptive Radiation Therapy Software enables the clinical team to adjust therapy to changes in patient anatomy during the course of treatment, including both changes in the tumour size, shape, and location as well as changes in surrounding healthy tissue

The PreciseRTX™ Retreatment Option makes it easier for clinicians to plan and deliver precise doses of radiation in those cases where, unfortunately, cancer has recurred and retreatment with radiation is necessary
