INTRAFRACTION PROSTATE MOTION MANAGEMENT
The raypilot system
Enabling accuracy in prostate cancer care
The Raypilot System is an electromagnetic positioning system that continuously localizes the prostate during radiation therapy. The system includes a transmitter which tracks the prostate tumour movements and outlines the urethra in real-time 3D, thus enhancing treatment precision and enabling a significant reduction of the risk of damaging surrounding healthy tissue. The precision makes it possible to use higher radiation dose and treatment may be given in a week or less, compared to conventional therapy over an 8-week period.
