Radiotherapy (RT) as a way to treat cancer is growing as a field, now that its accuracy has been improving. One reason for this improved precision has to do with patient positioning equipment and how the patient is immobilized during the treatment itself. By making sure the patient is always in the same position over multiple radiation treatments and that the patient stays comfortable enough not to shift during treatment, RT has been growing as a successful, accurate and fiscally sound way to treat cancer.



In imaging departments around the world, MR systems are stronger and faster, with greater image resolution than those of just a few years ago. And yet, all of this whiz-bang technology has yet to make a significant dent in the burning need of imaging providers — to reduce patient scheduling windows.



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.
