An innovative method that makes it possible to optimize intraoperative\u202fradiotherapy<\/a><\/span> treatments\u202f(IORT).\u202fThis is a particular radiotherapy technique used during surgery, immediately after the removal of the tumour mass.<\/p>\n

How does it work?<\/span><\/h3>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

The intraoperative radiotherapy technique selectively targets the tumour mass, sparing healthy tissue. Unfortunately, the spread of this type of radiotherapy is hampered by the difficulty of implementing\u202fradiotherapy treatment plans\u202fthat take into account the\u202fanatomical changes\u202fof the patient, due to the tumour removal surgery <\/span>.<\/p>\n

The patent develops a method that manages to\u202foptimize the parameters\u202fto be set. <\/span>The result is a\u202fmore effective and efficient treatment, based on the patient’s new anatomical conformation. <\/p>\n

During the surgical procedure, once the tumour has been removed, a three-dimensional scan of the treated area is carried out, which is used to correct the anatomical image acquired before the surgical procedure. <\/span>With it,\u202fthe preoperative anatomical image can be corrected. The image obtained helps to correctly set up the radiotherapy treatment. <\/p>\n
