Dynamic Surface Management System for patient positioning in radiotherapy

L'innovation

Our innovation is based on ToF cameras and cutting-edge signal processing and treatment to develop the first non irradiating imaging medical device allowing the realization of predictive models of internal structures movement starting from surface movements.

This technology gathers every means to monitor patient positioning and movement (intra and inter-fraction), patient surveillance, respiratory gating, relative patient / equipment position and potentially patient Identification!

Our innovation responds to the main challenge of radiotherapy, which is to maximize irradiation dose delivery on the tumor while avoiding adverse toxicity on healthy tissue and high risk organs.
