By GlobalDataOther VA medical centres that will also offer MRIdian MRI-guided radiation therapy include those in Cleveland, Ann Arbor, and Houston.
The MRIdian system provides oncologists with diagnostic MR images for anatomical visualisation and allows them to adapt radiation therapy plans to target cancer with the patient on the table.
This technology helps define treatment margins, minimise radiation exposure to healthy tissue, and deliver ablative radiation doses in a limited number of sessions.
Over 31,000 patients have been treated with MRIdian globally, and it is currently installed in 62 hospitals worldwide.
