Prior to Vision RT inventing Surface Guided Radiation Therapy (SGRT), drawing marks or permanently marking patients was the only option clinics had to set-up patients to ensure treatment was delivered to a precise location. For some patients’, tattoos are a painful experience and become a lifelong reminder of their cancer treatment.
AlignRT® Advance SGRT technology can eliminate the need for tattoos or additional radiation and has been shown in several studies to be at least as accurate as either marks or tattoos for positioning patients prior to treatment.¹²³ More than 100 clinics have now gone tattoo and mark-free with AlignRT Advance and can be found on our patient treatment locator on saferradiationtherapy.com
