Siemens Healthineers debuted the Accela radiotherapy system Sept. 27 at the American Society for Radiation Oncology’s annual meeting in Boston.
The system — which is pending FDA clearance — can deliver stereotactic body radiation therapy to multiple sites in about one minute, according to a Sept. 27 news release from Siemens.
Accela also includes AI-powered software to help physicians design treatment plans, the release said.
A group of U.S. cancer centers provided input to Siemens during development: Rochester, Minn.-based Mayo Clinic, St. Louis-based Washington University School of Medicine Siteman Cancer Center, Seidman Cancer Center at University Hospitals Cleveland Medical Center, Boston-based Mass General Brigham Cancer Center and New York City-based Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center.
At the Becker's Perioperative Summit, taking place September 14–15 in Chicago, perioperative leaders and healthcare executives will focus on improving operating room efficiency, enhancing patient safety, optimizing staffing and driving innovation across surgical services.
