DESCRIPTION
The ViewRay system is a unique medical instrument that integrates full-time MR imaging, radiation therapy delivery, and intelligent software automation.
Using the ViewRay system, clinicians can see soft tissue, visualize and adjust the dose, and gate therapy—all in real time, on live anatomy, without invasive markers or procedures, and without exposing the patient to the additional ionizing radiation that is common with other imaging modalities.
