Non-Invasive Cardiac Radioablation via Diaphragm Tracking
Method for Tracking Respiratory Motion for Cardiac Radioablation
Tags: The University of Sydney, Australia, Healthcare & Lifesciences
This technology offers a precise, non-invasive method for cardiac radioablation using x-ray guidance and diaphragm tracking algorithms to address respiratory motion. Designed for use with standard linear accelerators, it enables accurate targeting of cardiac substructures while minimizing damage to surrounding tissues, making it accessible and reducing long-term side effects. Applications include treating atrial fibrillation, ventricular tachycardia, and cardiac radiotherapy for patients ineligible for invasive procedures. It eliminates the need for invasive transponders, lowering risks and costs while improving treatment outcomes. A PCT patent (WO2022006633A1) has been filed to protect this innovation.
