As experienced users of Accuray's radiotherapy platforms, they recognize the benefits of the Radixact/TomoTherapy Systems and the CyberKnife® System. Look forward to supporting them in advancing their radiotherapy capabilities."

Heidelberg University Hospital: Leveraging Advanced Technology to Enhance Patient Care Heidelberg University Hospital has been at the forefront of using image-guided intensity modulated radiation therapy (IG-IMRT), which utilizes images acquired before each session to ensure accurate positioning of the patient and tumor.

With two TomoTherapy Systems, the hospital has been able to treat up to 100 patients daily, benefiting from the precision of IG-IMRT.

The Radixact System, integrated with ClearRT helical fan-beam kVCT imaging, Synchrony motion tracking, and VOLO Ultra Optimizer, enhances workflow, image clarity, and precision.

This system allows the hospital to treat more patients effectively and efficiently. Heidelberg University Hospital joins other prestigious institutions in the United States, Europe, and Asia in adopting Accuray's integrated solutions.

Heidelberg University Hospital has been recognized as one of the best hospitals in the world in Newsweek magazine's "World's Best Hospitals 2024" ranking.

With over a century of history, the hospital's radiation oncology center is among the largest and most advanced globally, focusing on both patient care and preclinical cancer research.
