Radiotherapy (RT) as a way to treat cancer is growing as a field, now that its accuracy has been improving. One reason for this improved precision has to do with patient positioning equipment and how the patient is immobilized during the treatment itself. By making sure the patient is always in the same position over multiple radiation treatments and that the patient stays comfortable enough not to shift during treatment, RT has been growing as a successful, accurate and fiscally sound way to treat cancer.
As radiation treatments have advanced in complexity, treatment facilities such as the Eugene M. & Christine E. Lynn Cancer Institute at Boca Raton Regional Hospital have faced greater demands for accuracy and precision in treatment. “Having the additional degrees of freedom (DOF) made possible by CIVCO’s Protura robotic patient positioning system has been an important advance for our program,” said Tim R. Williams, M.D., medical director, Lynn Cancer Institute, Boca Raton Regional Hospital.
September 28, 2011 – At ASTRO, Civco Medical Solutions will highlight the Protura Robotic Patient Positioning System and multiple motion management solutions, including the RFSuite RFID Tracking & Verification System.
