Image-Guided Radiation Therapy system that ensures daily setup consistency without prolonging treatment times.

IGRT is a type of conformal radiation treatment guided by imaging techniques such as x-rays or CT scans taken within the treatment room just prior to treatment. Systems equipped with IGRT allow clinicians to detect tumor volumes on a daily basis and automatically reposition a patient if necessary. High-resolution stereoscopic x-rays are acquired within the treatment room and compared to images taken for treatment planning to guarantee accurate patient setup.
