A precise treatment
The functionality of RayPilot® is similar to a GPS system by means that a target is localized with given coordinates.
RayPilot® use electromagnetic communication between a transmitter in the ROI and a receiver placed directly on the treatment couch, on a screen the motion of the transmitter is presented 30 times a second.
Today, RayPilot® is used for tracking during conventional and hypofractionated radiotherapy (SBRT) of prostate cancer.
An additional transmitter that will fit in the RayPilot® System is under development. It is called the HypoCath® and will be designed as an Foley catheter with the transmitter inside. This approach makes tracking available without need for surgical intervention.

The system consists of the RayPilot receiving system which is placed on any existing treatment couch, the RayPilot transmitter that is placed in the ROI, and the RayPilot software.
