LIVERPOOL, England, May 25 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Clinicians at the Clatterbridge Oncology Center, near Liverpool, today announced that they have commenced delivering a new and more precise form of radiotherapy called image- guided radiation therapy (IGRT) using a new robotic imaging device from Varian Medical Systems. A 75-year-old female cancer patient became the first person to be treated in the UK with an On Board Imager(TM) device, a new accessory that is designed to improve the precision and effectiveness of cancer treatments by giving doctors the ability to track and adjust for changes in tumor positions more accurately at the moment of treatment. Up to now, doctors have had to account for tumor motion by using broader beams that expose a significant margin of healthy tissue in the treatment area. The On Board Imager at Clatterbridge is the first of seven such systems scheduled for delivery to UK hospitals in the coming year.
