Clarity Breast System

Breast cancer patients benefit from:

  • Distinct Treatment Planning.  Clarity combines the benefits of 3D ultrasound with planning CT, which improves visualization of the lumpectomy cavity and enhances delineation of the surrounding soft tissue areas.
  • Precise Treatment.  The system updates rapidly to provide reliable localization of the lumpectomy site, which ensures exact targeting.

Prostate Breast System

Prostate cancer patients benefit from:

  • Unsurpassed Planning.  Clarity enables improved visualization of the target area and organs at risk, and also provides better distinction of soft tissue areas.
  • Targeted and Accurate Treatment.  The system unmatched position verification feature adjusts to any changes in the target size and shape, and aligns with the organ's position to ensure complete accuracy during set-up and treatment.
