ViewRay® LINAC-MR: Assuta's advanced radiotherapy linear accelerator

Precision radiotherapy guided by real-time MRI imaging

The LINAC-MR provides patients with:

  • Personalized treatment options: The ability to view and analyze patient tumors and internal organs in real time enables our oncologists to custom-tailor individual treatments.
  • Precision and quality: Using continuous high-quality soft-tissue imaging, oncologists have s highly accurate view of the tumor and surrounding organs in real time, to provide targeted radiotherapy during each treatment and receive insights into ongoing therapeutic progress.
  • Accounts for natural patient movement: This radiation therapy technology is designed for treating areas of the body that are in continuous motion during treatment, including the liver, pancreas, prostate, adrenal gland, and lungs.



INTRABEAM: intraoperative radiation therapy (IORT)


Intensive radiotherapy administered during surgery

The INTRABEAM technology delivers radiation therapy during and after surgery, combining two cancer therapies in a single highly targeted procedure.
During the operation, once the tumor is removed, the radiation oncologist inserts the INTRABEAM applicator into the incision area where the tumor growth was previously located. Radiotherapy is then administered directly to the tissue area in the tumor bed before the surgical incision is stitched up.

This procedure reduces patient side effects and minimizes exposure to surrounding healthy tissue and organs, while accelerating treatment and saving time by eliminating numerous hospital visits.

A key benefit of immediate irradiation during tumor removal surgery is that it helps prevent the reformation of the tumor stimulated by surgical wound healing. This preventive measure can also significantly shorten overall treatment.

NanoKnife

Destroying cancerous tumors that are not accessible to surgical intervention – with ultra-precise electric pulses


With the NanoKnife technology, surgeons can eliminate tumors located in hard-to-reach areas or near major blood vessels. The NanoKnife helps extend and improve quality of life for patients with tumors previously considered inoperable, such as pancreatic cancer, liver or intestinal tumors.

The high-precision NanoKnife uses irreversible electroporation (IRE) technology to ablate (destroy) targeted soft-tissue tumors while sparing healthy tissues and critical structures such as blood vessels and nerves.

TrueBeam™ radiotherapy system


Delivering radiation therapy doses to treat cancer with pinpoint accuracy


The powerful TrueBeam radiotherapy system integrates advanced imaging and motion management technologies for rapid, accurate treatment while monitoring and compensating for tumor motion.

TrueBeam gives The Lev Naot medical team the tools to treat many different types of complex cancers, including those in sensitive areas such as the abdomen, lung, liver, breast, and head and neck.

The system synchronizes imaging, patient positioning, motion management, beam shaping, and dose delivery, reducing chances of tumor motion during treatment, and helping minimize exposure to nearby healthy tissue and critical organs. TrueBeam imaging technology produces three-dimensional images to fine-tune tumor targeting prior to and during the treatment process. It can lower treatment sessions to under 2 minutes.

Assuta was the first in the world to apply this groundbreaking radiosurgery procedure to treat numerous metastatic brain tumors simultaneously, saving precious time, boosting quality of life and reducing difficult side effects.

Robot-assisted surgery: the da Vinci robot system


Arming surgeons with four hands and newfound agility to operate in tight spaces


The da Vinci system empowers surgeons to operate with new levels of dexterity, performing surgery in places that the human hand cannot reach and using movements that even the best surgeon cannot make.

The technology facilitates minimally-invasive laparoscopic surgeries in which its instruments operate within the body, while being controlled externally by the surgeon. Three-dimensional imaging guides the surgeon, with clear views of target organs and tissues.

The da Vinci robot is popular for numerous target organs, including the prostate, kidneys, colorectal system, gynecologic organs, and thyroid.
