Radixact (Tomotherapy)

Radixact: Precision Helical Radiation Therapy

Radixact is an advanced radiation therapy system based on helical tomotherapy, designed to deliver highly precise and uniform radiation treatment across the body. It integrates imaging and therapy into a single platform, allowing clinicians to verify tumor position before and during each treatment session. This ensures that radiation is delivered accurately and consistently, even in the most complex oncological cases.

Helical Delivery and 360-Degree Precision

One of the unique features of Radixact is its ability to treat tumors in a spiral (helical) pattern, a method that provides superior coverage compared to traditional fixed-beam radiation:

• Continuous Spiral Delivery: Similar to a CT scan, the radiation source rotates 360 degrees around the patient while the treatment couch moves, ensuring the tumor is attacked from all angles.

• Highly Conformal Dosing: This approach allows the radiation dose to closely match the 3D shape of the tumor, even if the shape is irregular or wraps around vital organs.

• Healthy Tissue Sparing: By focusing the energy so precisely, surrounding healthy tissues receive minimal exposure, which significantly reduces side effects and improves overall patient tolerance.

Versatility for Complex and Multiple Targets

Radixact is an essential tool in modern oncology because it can manage difficult cases that other systems might find challenging:

• Multi-Tumor Targeting: The system can treat large areas or multiple tumors simultaneously in a single continuous session, rather than requiring separate setups.

• Total Body & Marrow Irradiation: It is a leading technology for specialized cases requiring total marrow irradiation, providing a more uniform dose than traditional methods.

• Broad Clinical Application: It is highly effective for cancers of the head and neck, breast, lung, prostate, and spine, where tumors are often located near critical structures like the spinal cord or salivary glands.

Adaptive Therapy and Daily Verification

Another advantage of Radixact is its ability to adapt to the "changing" body of the patient throughout the weeks of treatment:

• Daily Crafms Imaging: Every session begins with a scan to verify the exact position of the tumor, accounting for minor changes in patient weight or organ movement.

• Smart Adaptation: If a tumor shrinks or shifts during the course of the therapy cycle, the system allows clinicians to adjust the plan to maintain pinpoint accuracy.

• Real-Time Reliability: This constant verification ensures that the radiation is never delivered to the wrong spot, maintaining the highest levels of safety.

The Patient Experience and Quality of Life

For patients, Radixact offers a comfortable and efficient treatment experience designed to minimize the impact of cancer care on daily life:

• Efficient Sessions: Treatments are typically quick and non-invasive, with many sessions completed in just a few minutes.

• Outpatient Care: The precision and safety of the system mean that no hospitalization is required, allowing patients to return home immediately.

• Reduced Complications: By sparing healthy tissue, Radixact reduces the likelihood of long-term complications, helping patients maintain a better quality of life during and after their treatment journey.

• Painless Intervention: Like all modern radiation, the treatment itself is completely painless and performed in a quiet, controlled environment.
