Real-time cancer targeting on a standard linear accelerator.
The Problem
- The human body is a dynamic system
- Tumours moves during radiotherapy treatment.
- Standard treatment does not consider motion during irradiation
Our solution
- Real-time tumour motion monitoring on a standard linear accelerator
- Purely software solution
- 6 degrees of freedom monitoring: sub-mm and sub-degree accuracy
