In arc therapy, a linear accelerator gantry moves in a continuous arc around the target while delivering radiation dose. Patients have been routinely treated with this technology since the 1980s, when it was put into use for stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) of the brain. The advantage was that the low-dose region was spread out over a larger amount of healthy brain, reducing treatment toxicity.

As surgical procedures become increasingly complex and more reliable, high-resolution intraoperative imaging is required. This is especially true in cardiovascular surgery, endovascular repairs and peripheral vascular interventions. While the best imaging quality is offered by fixed angiography imaging systems, mobile C-arm image quality is rapidly catching up.
