World's First FDA Cleared MRI-guided Linac Overview: ViewRay MRIdian

Описание: This video describes the ViewRay MRIdian® radiation treatment system, a unique medical instrument that combines continuous magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and radiation therapy delivery for the treatment of cancer.

With ViewRay's MRI-guided Linac radiation therapy, physicians have more control over the delivery of their radiation prescriptions because they are able to see the patient's internal anatomy and adapt to movement that may occur during the treatment. They can fine-tune each dose and personalize each treatment in ways they never could before.

Intended Use:
The MRIdian Linac System, with magnetic resonance imaging capabilities, is intended to provide stereotactic radiosurgery and precision radiotherapy for lesions, tumors, and conditions anywhere in the body where radiation treatment is indicated.

Safety Statement:
The MRIdian Linac System is not appropriate for all patients, including those that are not candidates for magnetic resonance imaging. Radiation treatments may cause side effects that can vary depending on the part of the body being treated. The most frequent ones are typically temporary and may include, but are not limited to, irritation to the respiratory, digestive, urinary or reproductive systems, fatigue, nausea, skin irritation, and hair loss. In some patients, side effects can be severe. Treatment sessions may vary in complexity and duration. Radiation treatment is not appropriate for all cancers. You should discuss the potential for side effects and their severity as well as the benefits of radiation and magnetic resonance imaging with your doctor to make sure radiation treatment is right for you.
