New technology allows accuracy in the treatment of cancer never achieved before
Wiener Neustadt/Salzburg/Reutlingen, May 8, 2015. An innovative system for accurate patient positioning had already received attention at its market launch in 2014. Now the first of these systems has been commissioned at MedAustron, an Austrian Center for Ion Beam Therapy, and will there be used clinically for the first time. Cancer patients can be positioned better than ever before and will thus be able to receive pin-point accuracy radiation treatments.
