Problem
Current radiation therapy systems are limited by their movement in a two-dimensional plane, restricting the angles from which radiation can be delivered to a tumor. This limitation can result in suboptimal dose distribution, potentially damaging surrounding healthy tissue and limiting the dosage that can be safely delivered to the tumor.
Solution
Celestial Oncology's Galileo 4π system delivers radiation from unlimited angles in a full sphere around the patient, optimizing treatment through advanced planning software. The system utilizes proprietary algorithms to select the optimal beam paths from thousands of possibilities, enabled by a novel high-output mini-linac small enough to be mounted on a flexible robotic arm. This approach improves dose distribution, escalating dosage to tumors while minimizing toxicity and damage to healthy tissue, even with repeat treatments. The integrated hardware and software automate beam movement and simplify real-time collaboration between physicians and dosimetrists, facilitating faster treatment plan development and delivery.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes radiation oncologists, medical physicists, and dosimetrists seeking to improve dose distribution and reduce damage to healthy tissue during radiation therapy, as well as hospitals and cancer centers looking to upgrade their radiation therapy capabilities.
