Systems

  • Beams move in real-time with 3D target motion
  • Dose delivered continuously throughout the breathing cycle
  • Limited system mobility requires the beam to repeatedly turn on and off as the target moves through fixed cross-hairs.
  • Delivers high doses of radiation to the entire envelope of target motion – encompassing both healthy and cancerous tissues
