LinaTech LLC's Add-On Cancer Treatment Solutions Wow Attendees at ASTRO Annual Meeting

Sept 14-17, 2014

LinaTech showcased its cutting-edge add-on cancer treatment solutions at the ASTRO 56th annual meeting sponsored by the American Society for Therapeutic Radiology in San Francisco, California from September 14-17, 2014. The event, which attracts thousands of attendees each year, provided an excellent platform for LinaTech to unveil its innovative technologies to physicists and radiation oncologists.

The first product LinaTech presented was its new 2680 line 150 micron a-Si panel, which can retrofit any PKI and Varian panel. The panel provides MV images that are much clearer than those of its competitors, with detailed outlines of human vertebrae and even blood vessels wrapping around the alveoli. Attendees were impressed by the panel's superior imaging quality.

LinaTech's easily removable/remountable SRS MLC was another innovative solution that caught attendees' attention. With dual video cameras onboard for patient monitoring and positioning, and 41 pairs of 1mm leaf for an isocenter under 2mm, LinaTech's SRS MLC offers an effective and affordable solution for SRS/SBRT treatment.

In addition, LinaTech's Monte Carlo treatment planning system utilizes GPU-accelerated calculations, which shorten the optimization and calculation time. The planning system can calculate a general nasopharynx cancer case within 2 minutes. The first planning system was installed in one of the most prestigious hospitals in Shanghai, China, demonstrating a drastic improvement in speed and accuracy.

Finally, LinaTech showcased its 3-D arm, which provides an IGRT solution for linear accelerators without beam stoppers. When combined with LinaTech's other products, this cost-efficient solution can revitalize and maximize all linacs.

In conclusion, LinaTech's add-on cancer treatment solutions were the talk of the ASTRO 56th annual meeting. Attendees were impressed by the company's innovative technologies, such as the new 2680 line 150 micron a-Si panel, easily removable/remountable SRS MLC, Monte Carlo treatment planning system, and 3-D arm. With its commitment to innovation and excellence, LinaTech is pushing the boundaries of radiotherapy imaging technology and providing medical professionals with powerful tools to improve the accuracy and efficiency of radiation treatment.
