Every year, there are more than 1 million cancer patients receiving radiation therapy for their treatment. Therefore, the advanced treatment technology is needed in order to reduce the amount of radiation exposure to patience’s critical organs as well as the side-effects. With the Active Breath Control (ABC) technology, women would have less likelihood to suffer from harmful exposure of the heart to radiation during the treatment. The external-beam radiation therapy technology has been improved by boosting the speed and precision of treatment leading a shorter treatment times. Similarly, brachytherapy in the external-beam radiation therapy has been dramatically improved allowing higher cure rate and quality of life preservation for many cancer patients. Because of the advanced technology in cancer treatment, American cancer survivors are expected to increase to about 19 million by 2024.
Today, scientists strive to improving technology in order to create safer and more accurate cancer treatment. Minimizing and prevention on radiation exposure can go hand-in-hand. On one side, technology can be introduced to lower the radiation exposure. On the other side, technology can be introduced to alarm the potential radiation exposure. With patented MVT technology inside, radiation detectors RadTarge II, RadPavise, and RadWall S from X-Z LAB can respond in less than 2 seconds. The real-time accumulated radiation measurement can alert people when radiation levels become unacceptable.
