Using a distinctive gyroscopic design, ZAP-X delivers hundreds of uniquely angled ionizing beams to precisely sculpt radiation to the unique contours of the tumor. With this unique approach, ZAP-X supports the clinical objective of protecting surrounding healthy brain tissue and patient neuro-cognitive function. Additionally, by significantly lowering incidental radiation dose to the body as compared to other multi-purpose radiation delivery systems, ZAP-X looks to set new standards in patient safety.
ZAP-X is also recognized for being the first and only dedicated SRS platform to no longer require hosting volatile radioactive isotopes in the clinical setting.
