Precision X-Ray Irradiation SmART Platform / Precision X-RAD 225Cx

• The Small Animal Radiation Therapy (SmART) platform is a state-of-the-art focal irradiation system that mimics clinical radiotherapy and imaging.
• Using Cone-Beam CT, µCT and a fully integrated Bioluminescence (BLI) imaging module, the SmART has the ability to image, target, and irradiate cells, and small animals ranging from mice to rabbits with unprecedented accuracy.
• The interface of the SmART-Advanced Treatment Planning (ATP) system allows the user to define complex treatment plans with the simple click of a button.
• Combines a high accuracy cone beam CT imaging system and a high dose delivery X-ray source in a single platform.
•  Similar to clinical systems, the isocentric design allows the specimen to remain stationary while the imaging and treatment platform rotate a full 360 degrees around the subject, thereby improving total dose delivery to the targeted area and reducing damage to non-targeted surrounding structures.
• The stationary specimen platform also allows co-registration of imported data from other imaging modalities to be seamlessly fused in order to improve visibility of the affected area thereby promoting more accurate treatment planning.
• Conformal collimation of the Orthovoltage X-ray beam can repeatedly target areas smaller than 1mm with exacting precision.
• Features: Fully Shielded Cabinet System; Stationary Isocentric Specimen Couch; 360° Rotational Gantry; 3D Volumetric CT Imaging & Reconstruction Software and Precise Conformal Beam Collimation to <1mm.
