Brainlab announced today the first group of breast cancer patients treated in United States with the ExacTrac Dynamic® Deep Inspiration Breath Hold (DIBH) module. Highlands Oncology is the first to treat and has already treated 19 patients in the first two weeks. By combining highly accurate surface guided technology with triggered X-ray imaging, Highlands Oncology clinicians have been able to address challenges that often necessitated large treatment margins, due to the lack of available technology and integration.

Brainlab, a digital medical technology company, announced today the majority acquisition of medPhoton GmbH, a Salzburg, Austria-based company, that develops and manufactures robotic imaging solutions for image guided radiation therapy and surgery. Over the last years, medPhoton has maintained a close partnership with Brainlab in the field of intraoperative imaging. This collaboration resulted in the market launch of the mobile imaging robot, Loop-X®, in 2020.

Brainlab announced today that clinicians at UZ Brussel are the first to treat patients with the company’s new Deep Inspiration Breath Hold (DIBH)* technology designed to streamline image guided and surface guided radiation therapy (IGRT and SGRT) and deliver the highest quality of care for breast cancer patients. UZ Brussel is a university hospital at the Vrije Universiteit Brussel with 721 hospital beds and almost 4,000 employees. UZ Brussel successfully validated the technology and presented research at the Novalis Circle Symposium at ESTRO on May 8, 2022. The research demonstrates that Brainlab ExacTrac Dynamic® DIBH streamlines the process and increases positioning confidence through “on-the-fly” X-Ray confirmation. Internal anatomy verification at the breath hold level may increase confidence in dose sparing of critical structures like the heart.
