Title:

Improving Radiotherapy Delivery

Agreement Number:

1000215

Agreement Value:

$577,480.00

Agreement Date:

Jan 2, 2023 - Mar 31, 2024

Description:

The Aurora-RT combines an MRI system to provide high quality patient images to ensure they are properly aligned prior to delivering the radiation. This project will develop real time imaging during the treatment. The Aurora-RT will monitor the tumor position and if it moves outside of the treatment field, the beam will pause until the tumor returns to its proper location, then the delivery will continue. This is called “beam gating”. The project will also implement an advanced treatment beam modulation system called VMAT, in which the gantry rotates during treatment delivery, and the system will adjust the multi-leaf collimator position and dose rate throughout the rotation to deliver the optimal radiation dose to the patient.
