Rush University Medical Center studies advanced 3D imaging system for radiation therapy

hu. "In addition, we can see if the dose is hitting normal tissue or critical structures."

Currently, the technology is being studied to determine if it is useful for evaluation of the radiation dose distribution, but the tools are not yet available to use the equipment for treatment planning.

In the future, Dr. Chu would like to be able view changes in the radiation dose in real time. He believes combining this technology with his research into the use of strong magnetic fields may improve the radiation dose distribution.

"If we can figure out how to deliver radiation energy concentrated only on the tumor and very little radiation on normal tissue, than all tumors potentially can be destroyed," said Dr. Chu. "We are hopeful, a 3D display system can assist us in reaching that goal."

The Perspecta Spatial 3D System has not received FDA approval and is not intended for use in clinical diagnosis, nor may it be used to prevent, diagnose, or treat disease. In the medical fields, Perspecta is offered to qualified research institutions only.
