INTRABEAM System from ZEISS

• Focusing on your patient
  ZEISS helps you provide patients with treatment options in addition to the conventional standard of care. Radiation with INTRABEAM^® from ZEISS enables an individual treatment that minimizes collateral tissue exposure with a shorter duration of the radiation therapy compared to external beam radiation therapy (EBRT).
  
  
• Targeted applications without delay
  Local irradiation of the tumor or the tumor bed can be prescribed as a single treatment or as a boost treatment combined with external beam radiotherapy.
  
  
• Unifying proven IORT advantages in one solution
  Low-energy X-rays have a high relative biological effectiveness due to the higher ionization density of radiation in tissue compared to megavolt X-rays. Additionally, due to the steep dose falloff, the tissue of interest is irradiated in a way that reduces collateral damage, which is a special characteristic of low-energy radiation. Therefore, radiation can be applied immediately to well-vascularized tissue after R0 resection and also after incomplete tumor resections in R1 and R2 scenarios.^{1, 2}

A full set of quality assurance and dosimetry tools is provided with the radiotherapy equipment. The factory-calibrated radiotherapy machine is delivered with the specific depth dose curves and a reference measurement with the ion chamber integral to the INTRABEAM^® from ZEISS. Prior to every treatment, a two-step quality control check ensures that all parameters such as isotropy, internal radiation monitor and dose output do not exceed the tolerances defined during calibration. A completely shielded, manually adjustable ZEISS INTRABEAM Water Phantom can be used to verify the depth dose curve and isotropy.
