FDA CLEARANCE

Prone Position Breast Radiotherapy Table

Orbital Therapy (www.orbitaltherapy.com) announces FDA clearance to market the ClearVue™ prone position breast radiotherapy treatment table. ClearVue is a carbon fiber add-on table that can be used with existing CT simulators and linear accelerators to plan and deliver radiation treatments. Prone position increases the distance between the target and surrounding critical organs and minimizes target motion caused by breathing, resulting in less radiation dose to organs such as the lung and heart and more precise dose to the intended target.
