It represents the first new dedicated brain stereotactic radiosurgery platformin almost half a century optimizing the goals of safety, speed, and accuracy. ...
Abstract The ZAP-X® is a newly designed, self-contained, and first-of-its-kind self-shielded therapeutic radiationtherapy device dedicated to brain and head and neck stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS). By using an S-bandlinear accelerator (linac) and employing integrated minimal but sufficient shielding, the ZAP-X does nottypically require a radiation bunker. ...
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 ...
EBRT FOR BRAIN TUMORS As noted above, postsurgical wound healing must occur prior to the initiation of EBRT, leaving a large window of time for unchecked tumor cell replication.4,5 Additionally, EBRT regimens for primary brain tumors (ie, fractionated EBRT) are often time and resource intensive (typically requiring daily visits from Monday through Friday for 4 to 6 weeks), which poses a ...
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. ...
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 ...
Here, we compared the dosimetry of ZAP-X plans for asingle patient to that generated by a well-established dedicated radiosurgery device, theCyberKnife. Methods Radiosurgery plans that delineated the cranial nerve from a single patient’s fused computedtomography and magnetic resonance imaging (CT-MR) data set were planned on both the ZAP-X and ...
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. ...
