Modern high precision Radiation Therapy is focussed on high dose delivery to the tumor and protection of normal tissue.

Technological efforts have been made to develop the Irradiation Equipment to perfection.

However, Patient Positioning is a weak link in the chain of the radiotherapy process (Imaging-Tumor Localization - Dose Planning – Patient Positioning – Treatment – Verification).

There is a fundamental need to eliminate uncertainties in the set up of the Patient and to monitor the Position during the treatment.

GALAXY has been developed to improve and monitor Patients’ Position on the couch. The Laser system uses the Patient Topography (skin surface) in relation to the Isocenter and the tumor for higher Alignment Accuracy and Repeatability.

ADAPTIVE ALIGNMENT®

GALAXY can help to detect and correct interfractional and intrafractional changes.

Positioning can be adapted according to any discrepancies. On sites with remote controlled couches, these corrections can be carried out automatically.
