How Does AccuBoost Work?
The AccuBoost dose delivered in this process is uniform, homogeneous and is accurately targeted to the breast tissue which, if left untreated, is the most likely sites for cancer recurrence.

AccuBoost's step-by-step diagrams:
Step 1: Select Target & Applicator Size 
The breast is slightly compressed (immobilized), then imaged to locate the lumpectomy cavity and determine the size and position of the applicator to be used for delivering the radiation.

Step 3: Horizontal Treatment
The breast is immobilized in a different (horizontal) orientation, an image is taken to locate the lumpectomy cavity and to select the applicator size, then radiation is delivered in the both horizontal directions.

Step 4: Overlapping Treatment
The dose builds up in the tissue where the two treatments overlap – everywhere else receives a lower dose.
