Laser Alignment System Released for Prone Breast Platform

 

A new laser alignment system has been released for Orbital Therapy’s ClearVue prone breast platform.

Treatment rooms have ceiling and wall lasers that are used for triangulation and patient set-up. When treating patients in the prone (face down) position, the ceiling laser can only be used to set-up the overall position of the patient, but not the actual breast. The patent-pending Laser Alignment System provides an additional point of reference that can be used to triangulate the actual breast undergoing the treatment. This will increase accuracy and reproducibility, and allow for a quicker set-up.

ClearVue is currently in use by leading cancer treatment facilities including NYU Cancer Institute, Massachusetts General Hospital, Montefiore Medical Center and many other centers in the United States and Europe.
