What is it indicated for?
The AlignRT system is used to position patients undergoing external beam radiation therapy. Prior to each treatment session the patient is registered to the position which best reproduces the patient's position during treatment simulation. The system can also monitor the patient's position during treatment so that movements from the optimum position can be detected. Patient contour data can be extracted and exported from the acquired data for the purpose of treatment planning by radiotherapy professionals. AlignRT is used by radiotherapy professionals in appropriate hospital environments. It can be used with all types of radiotherapy patients and can image any visible anatomical region.
Indications for use as stated in the FDA summary.
