| Targited Intraoperative Radiation Therapy (TARGIT) with INTRABEAM® |
| |
 | | INTRABEAM delivers radiation directly into tumor cavities by generating a high dose of low energy (50kV) X-rays in a precise, spherical distribution pattern around a point source. The pattern can be shaped and tailored to the application with various applicators.
INTRABEAM’s platform flexibility extends beyond traditional radiotherapy systems, requiring no structural infrastructure modifications or specialized radiation protection. In the treatment of breast cancer, INTRABEAM platform versatility makes it possible for patients to receive a single dose of internal radiation as a definitive treatment or as a boost to whole breast radiation therapy. The INTRABEAM treatment flexibility results in a wide range of oncological applications in addition to breast cancer therapy. |
