DESCRIPTION
Apply radiation directly to a tumor bed within the body.

The Axxent Electronic Brachytherapy System is a leading-edge technology that utilizes a proprietary miniaturized X-ray source to apply radiation directly to a tumor bed within the body. The Axxent X-ray Source delivers high-dose rate, low energy radiation treatment without the use of radioactive isotopes. The Axxent Source mimics certain characteristics of the most common HDR brachytherapy isotope, 192Ir, but the low energy of the Axxent Source enables the procedure to be done in a minimally shielded setting under the supervision of a radiation oncologist.

FEATURES

       
  1. Creates greater access to treatment facilities by not requiring a shielded    
    room for use.    
  2. Medical personnel can be present in room during treatment, providing patient    
    comfort and well being.    
  3. Radiation is emitted only during treatment when the X-ray source is turned on.    
  4. Radiation is emitted at a low energy and high-dose rate, providing coverage    
    to the target area, while providing sharper dose fall-off than conventional    
    isotopes.    
  5. Radiation is attenuated beyond the area under the Axxent FlexiShield® protecting    
    other parts of the body.    
  6. Source is designed for single patient use of 10 fractions.    
  7. Source voltage and current can be modulated, permitting Intensity Modulated    
    Brachytherapy (Xoft IMBT™) in future applications.
