Intraoperative Radiation Therapy (IORT) System for Flash Radiotherapy - Medical / Health Care
The IntraOp® Mobetron® is the most comprehensive electron therapy linear accelerator system with applications in intraoperative radiotherapy (IORT) and non-invasive treatment of skin cancer. Now Mobetron is the first to offer ultra-high dose rate electron therapy for preclinical and investigational studies of FLASH radiotherapy on an established clinical radiotherapy platform. IntraOp’s advanced technology ushers in a new paradigm for cancer treatment by providing researchers an approach not possible before: Precision treatment in microseconds.
Empowering A New Renaissance in Radiotherapy
The advent of image-guidance significantly improved the precision of radiation therapy and advancements since continue to incrementally raise the efficacy of cancer treatment. However, the underlying theories and technologies have remained somewhat static for decades. To this point, radiation oncologists have only been able to control two key variables for improving treatment: fractionation and volume optimization. Breakthrough research from the CHUV, Lausanne-Switzerland introduces a third dimension, the “FLASH Effect”, for optimizing care based on new concepts in radiochemistry and radiobiology with the potential to revolutionize radiotherapy by making it safer and more effective.
