Image-guided therapy firm BrainLab has introduced ExacTrac Infrared Monitoring, a device for monitoring patient position during image-guided radiation therapy (IGRT) treatments.
An add-on device to existing treatment machines, the ceiling-mounted unit uses infrared tracking technology to continually monitor a patient's position during treatment and to check the reference position, according to the Westchester, IL-based firm.
It can be used during treatment of a wide range of clinical indications, including cranial, head and neck, prostate, lung, liver, and spine, according to the firm. The device works with most linear accelerators and can be upgraded to the full ExacTrac system, BrainLab said.
