Airo® CT System
In-vault True Helical CT Providing
Adaptive Radiotherapy Treatment
Capability
The Airo® true helical CT System is an ideal 3D volumetric
imaging solution for radiation therapy
Airo true CT provides full visualization of the target throughout treatment fractions.
Clinically relevant changes to target volume and structure can be assessed over the
course of treatment.
• True CT image quality and full volumetric FOV
• Automatic Hounsfield unit registration of the Airo CT scan to the diagnostic imaging study
• Adaptive planning using the Airo CT Hounsfield units
Example: Proton Therapy Lung Tumor Treatment
The presence of fluid and other soft tissue changes is readily visualized with helical CT
imaging. Hounsfield units from Airo interfraction CT enable adaptive planning and
treatment.
Original plan based on diagnostic CT image Fluid build up alters the original dosimetry
of target and surrounding structures over the course of treatment, potentially
changing clinical effectiveness
