Radiation oncology firm Nucletron of Veenendaal, Netherlands, and optical molecular imaging developer ART Advanced Radiation Therapy have installed the AccuBoost device at an Italian hospital.
The Istituto Europeo di Oncologia in Milan is the first hospital in Europe to use AccuBoost, which combines real-time mammographic image guidance and brachytherapy and was certified for use in Europe six weeks ago, according to Nucletron.
The hospital is using the technology to pinpoint a tumor and treat it, while protecting healthy surrounding tissue and organs.
