The MR-LINAC system enhances adaptive treatment planning by generating a new image set before each treatment, accounting for daily changes in a patient’s anatomy and tumor changes. This technology enables clinicians to precisely target diseased areas, sparing nearby organs and tissues, reducing the risk of adverse events (AEs).
In this video, Paul B. Renz, DO, a radiation oncologist at Allegheny General Hospital, Allegheny Health Network (AHN) in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, discusses anecdotal changes observed by clinician researchers using the MR-LINAC system, which have led to a reduction in AEs compared with conventional radiation therapy. In addition, the MOMENTUM study (NCT04075305)—a published international consortium analyzing MR-LINAC data from 30 centers across the US, Canada, and Europe, including Sweden,…
