Radiation therapy is rapidly developing increasingly refined treatment methods. The goal is to achieve higher precision, with higher doses in the target area and less exposure to surrounding healthy tissue. To expand the use of stereotactic radiation therapy (SRT) outside the brain, either in one single fraction through stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) or as multiple-fraction SRT, demands greater accuracy in targeting and limitation of organ motion. Localization and immobilization devices, together with image guidance systems, play a key role.
The ability to image at the time of treatment and verify the tumor and treatment position, has provided unmatched clinical confidence for 3D conformal, intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) hyperfractionated and stereotactic treatment, through improved dose conformance and reduced irradiation to healthy structures. |

Advanced 6D Patient
Positioning Package
Advanced 6D Patient Positioning Package features the first robotic patient positioning platform with six degrees of freedom. It enables accurate and remote geometric correction of any
misalignments detected by state-of-the art image guidance systems, thereby closing the gap in the six degrees of freedom chain of image guided radiation
therapy (IGRT) localization and patient positioning. | Precise Table
Precise Table offers functions and
features to support an increasingly broad range of radiation therapy applications. The extensive range of tabletops available with Precise Table offers clinical flexibility whilst the large vertical table movement range enables the treatment of large fields at extended distances and irradiation from beneath with a source-to-skin distance of up to 150cm. | iBEAM® evo Couchtop
iBEAM evo Couchtop is the next
generation couchtop for both imaging and treatment, providing outstanding in situ imaging quality and minimizing artifacts. The iBEAM evo Couchtop unique homogenous carbon fiber
sandwich design contains no metal in the treatment area and offers improved radiotranslucency, with a minimized attenuation spread across the range of beam entry angles, providing the perfect solution for IMRT, IMAT and IGRT. | VolumeView™
Innovative XVI technology is integrated directly onto the treatment system itself enabling routine 3D volume imaging of a tumor immediately prior to treatment. VolumeView visualization of soft tissue decreases the risk of geometric miss by confirming tumor and risk organ position immediately before treatment, with possible update of patient position.

Elekta offer both MV and kV imaging at the time of treatment. MV imaging is offered on the range of Elekta linear accelerators and XVI is offered on Elekta Synergy ®, Elekta Synergy® S and Elekta Axesse ™. |

MotionView™
Sequence mode imaging capability is also provided by XVI and helps locate targets that move at a higher frequency due to respiration, allowing true evaluation of patient motion while the patient is in the treatment position, thus optimizing treatment delivery. | PlanarView™
PlanarView provides similar functionality to existing orthogonal MV portal images for initial patient set-up. However, the X-rays in the kV energy range produced by XVI create high quality images at very low doses (0.2cGy). | iViewGT™
iViewGT is an electronic portal imaging device and an important component of IGRT, providing high-resolution, high-contrast MV images for treatment verification with the patient in the treatment position. Real-time imaging is also made possible with iViewGT using imaging during treatment. | |
