Elekta’s Clarity 4D Monitoring software has received 510(k) clearance. With Elekta, physicians are able to monitor the motion of the prostate and surrounding tissues and organs in real-time and with sub-millimeter accuracy during the delivery of therapeutic radiation beams.
The ability to continuously visualize the prostate’s precise location constantly during treatment is especially important for clinicians pursuing advanced prostate protocols, such as reduced margin hypofractionated therapy or advanced stereotactic ablative body radiotherapy.
Continuous target visualization?4D monitoring of the prostate with Clarity during treatment offers continuous tracking of the target and imaging of the surrounding anatomy, including the bladder, rectum, and penile bulb.
Clarity 4D Monitoring uses Autoscan acquisition technology, which robotically acquires live transperineal ultrasound images of soft tissue anatomy from the linear accelerator control area.
