Concurrent use of opioid pain medications and benzodiazepines puts patients at a significantly increased risk of potentially fatal overdose, as both classes of medications can cause central nervous system depression and decreased respiratory drive. Whenever possible, clinicians should avoid prescribing opioids and benzodiazepines together and explore alternative treatment options to minimize the risk of adverse outcomes, including overdose and mortality.

AlignRT® offers a more comfortable radiation treatment while making sure that the treatment is as accurate as treatments with a full-face mask.

AlignRT® is a system of cameras, mounted to the ceiling, that feed data into a software program. Each camera unit uses a projector and image sensors to create a 3D surface model of the area by projecting a red light (containing a pseudo-random speckle pattern) on your skin. The speckled pattern allows AlignRT® to reference thousands of points on the skin, acting as virtual tattoos. This imaging information is fed into software program that allows real time, accurate tracking during your set up and radiotherapy treatment, making sure your radiation therapist is alerted if you move from the optimal position, and in many cases automatically pausing treatment if this happens.

Quickly growing in use around the world, AlignRT® uses a 3D camera system to track your body surface in real time and may be used to help position you accurately before radiation therapy, and ensure you keep that position during treatment.  Using your external skin surface, the technology monitors your movement and knows exactly where you are at any moment to within a fraction of a millimeter. AlignRT® can be used from head to toe.

The American Society for Radiation Oncology (ASTRO) issued treatment guidelines for breast cancer patients in 2018. These guidelines state that, “Approaches that incorporate deep inspiration breath hold, target and organ-at-risk contouring and optimal patient positioning are recommended to minimize the radiation dose affecting nearby organs and normal tissue, including the heart, lungs and opposite breast.”¹   (our emphasis)

AlignRT® has been shown to help treat stereotactic body radiation therapy patients with better than patients with accurate initial setup and monitoring during treatment and relatively little immobilization which leads to enhanced comfort.⁷

If you are being recommended radiation treatment, yes. Of course, all patients’ cancer treatments and options are different so make sure you discuss the use of AlignRT® as part of your radiation treatment with your oncologist.

AlignRT® has been shown to help deliver this “optimal patient positioning”, across many different cancer treatment sites, and is commonly used for “deep inspiration breath hold”. There are many scientific studies published in journals with an excellent reputation, describing the accuracy of this technique. Vision RT systems are deployed in 15 of the top 15 US News “Best Hospitals for Cancer” and have been extensively studied with over 100 published clinical studies.

In a study, patients followed up six months after treatment with DIBH and AlignRT® were shown to be free of any abnormalities in blood flow to the heart. In an earlier study during which left breast cancer patients were treated conventionally, 27% exhibited blood flow abnormalities after six months.² ³
