"We believe our high-field MR-linac will fundamentally change the RT landscape," says Tomas Puusepp, President and CEO of Elekta. "Real-time, diagnostic-quality imaging and the ability to enable dose adaptation during treatment will allow radiation oncologists the same power of visibility during a radiation procedure that a surgeon has in the operating theater. With MR-linac, physicians can watch while they treat, allowing for a tailored approach to each patient's needs at a specific moment in time. This is a wholly different approach to RT that has not previously been feasible."
Elekta's MR-linac is a work in progress and not available for sale or distribution.
