Precise Technology: Fewer Visits, Fewer Side Effects.
Accuray Systems offer exclusive technology to deliver radiotherapy treatments with unmatched precision. The true robotic delivery of the CyberKnife® System and the 360° helical delivery of the Radixact® System enable radiation to be delivered from any angle, with sub-millimeter precision. Both systems utilize Synchrony® technology to image in real-time the animal and target movement. This level of precision enables advanced radiation therapy treatment to be delivered in fewer treatments, reducing clinic visits and anesthetic episodes while also reducing the incidence of side effects.
Versatility and Efficiency: Enhancing Economic Outcomes.
Veterinary hospitals and clinics need workhorse systems, not one-trick technologies. Accuray Systems are designed to maximize versatility and clinical efficiency. The CyberKnife, TomoTherapy and Radixact Systems can all treat virtually any indication, anywhere in the animal. We built our proven Accuray Precision® Treatment Planning Software to streamline clinical workflows, including highly automated treatment planning, to optimize patient throughput and minimize burden on veterinary staff and resources.
