The vest tracks tumor motion with respiratory motion, directing the linear accelerator to deliver highly accurate radiation beams to moving tumors. The Synchrony System constantly updates its correlation model with each new X-ray image, automatically correcting for any changes in the patient’s breathing patterns.
The custom-designed Synchrony Vest and Tracking Markers allows for simplified patient setup and marker placement, especially for multi-fraction treatments where the Vest and Markers rarely need to be adjusted. Patients are directed to breathe normally throughout treatment delivery.
