Accuray Announces Four New Products at Nation's Leading Radiation Oncology Meeting
Date:10/29/2007

tioning System with a new seated load capability is a more comfortable and ergonomic treatment couch, developed with mobility challenged patients in mind. The seated load feature offers easier loading and unloading capabilities and provides added comfort for the unique needs of wheelchair bound or disabled patients. Its flexible design has a built in adjustable knee bolster improving patient comfort while also allowing treatments to be performed either with the patient's knees bent and up or in a completely flat table top configuration. In addition, because patients are more comfortable during treatment, the system minimizes patient motion resulting in fewer treatment interruptions.

While these technologies will positively impact CyberKnife treatments across many indications, they are especially important in the treatment of lung and prostate cancer because they offer the flexibility to tailor treatment with different clinical objectives to each patient -- whether the priority is conformality, homogeneity, reduced dose delivery or some combination -- all while reducing radiation dose to the surrounding critical structures. Additionally, the combination of these technologies will improve patient comfort, speed up treatment delivery and planning times, and improve the accuracy of delivered treatments ultimately ensuring that the right dose is delivered to the right place at the right time.

"At Accuray our focus is delivering clinically significant technologies to our current and future CyberKnife System users," said Eric P. Lindquist, senior vice president and chief marketing officer of Accuray Incorporated. "At this year's ASTRO, we are delighted to be able to launch these four new innovations that not only better meet our clinicians' needs for faster, more flexible radiation optimization, but also enhance their patients' treatment experience."
