AccuBoost®

Partial Breast Radiotherapy

AccuBoost® Digital is a digital mammography-guided Non-Invasive Breast Brachytherapy (NIBB) solution.  This complete, turn-key package provides all the components needed for this advanced treatment, bundled together in a streamlined offering.

Key Technology Features

The AccuBoost® technique is designed specifically for Partial Breast Irradiation to deliver either APBI or the Boost portion of Whole Breast Irradiation.  AccuBoost provides confidence in targeting and dose delivery through the use of a common platform to immobilize, image, target, and treat the breast.  Ultimately, the goal is to eliminate factors that lead to expansion of margins or add complexity to the procedure...

Spare Healthy Tissue

  • Low skin dose with 4-field box technique
  • Dose to heart and lungs lower by up to 90%
  • PTV minimized with immobilization and high contrast imaging

A True Adaptive Therapy

  • Pretreatment imaging for every fraction
  • Field shape, size and position adjusted with each fraction
  • Targeting of tumor bed directly vs. exterior reference points

Ultimate in Targeting Confidence

  • Optimal mammographic high contrast imaging
  • Integrated targeting tools
  • Compatibility with preoperative imaging
  • Can use pathologic data for field adjustment

Simplicity in Commissioning & Use

  • No pretreatment planning; calculations made at time of treatment delivery
  • One day installation, simple commissioning, on-site training
  • Daily dose planning takes just a few minutes; simple 2 channel treatment
  • Flexible scheduling for physicist and radiation oncologist

Accuracy - Employ the best imaging technology to identify the lumpectomy site (Mammography) combined with pathologic guidance to determine the location of the true target.

Precision - Combine the best radiation therapy approach to deliver a conformal dose to the target (Brachytherapy) with the best image fidelity (Mammography) and target positioning (Integrated Motion Management) for optimal targeting precision.

AccuBoost combines slight compression (to immobilize the breast) with concurrent imaging, localization and treatment all on a single platform for optimal conformality and targeting confidence.
