Brainlab releases advanced version of ExacTrac patient positioning system

29 August 2012

Brainlab has launched its new ExacTrac 6.0 Patient Positioning system, delivering key improvements for both frameless radiosurgery and radiotherapy treatments.

This new system aims to further increase clinical value, deliver intuitive workflows and enable refined integration with peripheral systems.

“The overall precision of ExacTrac is deeply embedded in every facet of the system from its refined installation procedures to its ever-developing customer training to its vital network of experienced users,” commented Stefan Vilsmeier, President and CEO at Brainlab. “Radiotherapy departments worldwide rely on ExacTrac because it instills user confidence by continuously and accurately targeting the intended volume, throughout the entire treatment. ExacTrac 6.0 is another Brainlab advancement dedicated to improving patient treatments and clinical results.”

ExacTrac uses high-resolution stereoscopic X-Ray images to instantly detect and visualize internal structures and their location inside the body before and during treatment. A selective, intelligent image fusion algorithm allows the elimination of artifacts and ambiguities caused by objects not rigidly correlated to the target structure. Clinicians can then correct patient position in six dimensions of freedom in order to accurately target the treatment area.
