The Advantages of AccuBoost

The tried and true main-stream practice of whole breast irradiation (WBI) following lumpectomy has an excellent record that spans over 3 decades. The WBI procedure includes an all-important “boost” phase. The AccuBoost system is designed to target the boost dose scientifically and accurately with good quality control. The anticipated benefits of the AccuBoost are listed below:

• Non-invasive radiation delivery in a simple outpatient procedure
• Accurate targeting of the radiation to the intended site via real-time image guidance
• Conformal radiation field – matches the target size, shape and location
• Minimal dose to healthy tissue as the radiation is focused on the intended target sparing exposure to the heart, lungs and the uninvolved breast
• Uniform radiation field from the center to the edge
• Homogenous treatment – no hot or cold spots in the field
• Excellent reliability, reproducibility and process control
• Digital map of the boost dose for in-process correction, and for future reference
