This patient case demonstrates the clinical application of Adaptiiv’s technology used in radiation oncology through the design and fabrication of both modulated and uniform thickness (simple) ...
The following patient case demonstrates the application of Adaptiiv’s technology used in clinical radiation oncology through the design and fabrication of customized bolus to improve the efficacy of treating complex target volumes with electron beams. This case is a great example of how a custom modulated electron bolus (MEB) allowed for a uniform dose distribution of a complex treatment ...
Doylestown-based Neuropathix is running safety tests required to start clinical trials in humans. The compound may help with neuropathy, a severe type of chronic pain associated with cancer treatment. The next generation of cannabis-inspired medicine might be grown in test tubes instead of greenhouses. Researchers at Temple University have partnered with Doylestown-based pharmaceutical company ...
ZAP Surgical Systems, Inc. today announced it has received CE mark clearance to the new EU MDR for its ZAP-X® Gyroscopic Radiosurgery® platform. The CE mark makes it possible for healthcare providers to begin treating patients with the ZAP-X system in the European Union. For select indications including many primary and metastatic brain tumors, stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) is proven ...
By using a continuous flexible fiducial marker, VeraForm, the surgeon can now mark the lumpectomy cavity in a more realistic 3-dimensional manner. This then allows the radiation oncologist to see the area of concern through the surgeon’s eyes, rather than guess where to set their fields. ...
Radiation therapy choices vary for comprehensive breast cancer treatment. One such option, intraoperative radiation therapy (IORT) is employed in many centers around the country. ...
Head and neck cancer surgery presents a number of unique challenges, not only for the surgeon but for the radiation oncologist who will subsequently treat those patients. Great care with an emphasis on precision must be taken to ensure that critical structures and tissues avoid collateral damage when possible. However, given the surgical site often lies in soft tissue, exact identification of the ...
GammaTile Therapy is a safe and effective radiation option that requires no capital investment and eliminates the need for multiple treatment visits along with the associated transportation and caregiver burdens To provide targeted brain EBRT, such as intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) and stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS), treatment centers must have both the significant ...
ZAP Surgical Systems, Inc. today announced it has received Shonin approval from the Japanese Pharmaceuticals and Medical Devices Agency (PMDA) for its ZAP-X® Gyroscopic Radiosurgery® platform. As part of the approval, ZAP-X is now cleared for clinical use in Japan. To facilitate a robust market introduction effort, ZAP also announced a partnership with MC Medical Inc. to lead Japanese ...
ZAP Surgical Systems, Inc. today announced ZAP-X® Gyroscopic Radiosurgery® patient treatments have commenced at MedStar Georgetown Cancer Institute at MedStar Southern Maryland Hospital Center in Clinton, MD. For many primary and metastatic brain tumors, stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) has proven to be an effective treatment with outcomes equivalent to invasive surgical procedures. ...

VeraForm continues to yield exceptional results for our planning radiation therapy (XRT) efforts with the radiation oncology team. Building on that success, we recently integrated VeraForm into our APBI program with the SAVI® brachytherapy catheter system. ...
Abstract The purpose of this article is to investigate and characterize from a physics perspective theZap-X (ZAP Surgical Systems, Inc., San Carlos, CA), a new, dedicated self-contained and self-shielded radiosurgery system, focusing on beam energy and performance, leakage, radiationsafety, dose delivery accuracy, regulations, quality assurance, and treatment planning. Thisinvestigation is ...
Peaceful application of nuclear technology has contributed to socio-economic resource development in Tanzania. The Tanzania Atomic Energy Commission has taken some active steps for the incorporation and or adoption of ICT-based training modules in nuclear science and technology and its applications. The overall objective of this programme is to establish a sustainable national capability for ...
