AccuBoost powered by Nucletron
See what you treat. Treat what you see.
Possible side effects may include:
lungs filling with signs of relief.
Now you can pinpoint and treat the lumpectomy site—and protect your patients' healthy organs—with AccuBoost powered by Nucletron, the revolutionary breast boost therapy system that combines mammographic image guidance using non-invasive HDR brachytherapy to help you see what you treat and treat what you see for better patient outcomes.
Why Should I Switch?
AccuBoost powered by Nucletron targets the beam of radiation directly at the tumor bed—and away from the chest—improving patient outcomes and significantly reducing the dose to the lungs and heart to less than 10% of the prescription dose.
Clinical studies show that traditional en-face electron boost therapy misses the tumor bed 50%1 of the time, and exposes a portion of the underlying lung to ionizing radiation equivalent to 10,000 typical chest x-rays.2
How Does It Work?
Using special mammography paddles, the breast is imaged in real time to locate the lumpectomy cavity and identify the size and position of the dosing applicators.
Non-invasive HDR applicators are positioned on opposing sides of the breast to deliver a conformal radiation field directly to the target site, both in the cranio-caudal and medio-lateral positions.
The dose accumulates in the target tissues where the horizontal and vertical treatments overlap, minimizing exposure to normal tissue.
What Is Included?
The turnkey solution gives you everything you need to establish or expand your program—and generate a positive cash flow with the first patient you treat:
- Mammography station and positioning paddles
- Computed radiography (CR) station to view and record real-time images
- AccuBoost applicators in a variety of shapes and sizes for every patient's needs
- microSelectron® Digital Afterloader to deliver the boost therapy to the breast—and help you treat many other body-site cancers
- Complete installation and training, licensing, reimbursement coding, and customer service support
- Pay-per-use financing—no upfront costs for your practice
