MagnetTx Oncology Solutions Ltd. designs, manufactures and markets the MagnetTx Aurora RT . Aurora RT is a cancer treatment system that combines high-quality MRI and simultaneous linear accelerator-based radiation therapy treatment. Unlike other MRI-guided systems, Aurora RT was designed with patented rotating magnets with the RT beam parallel to the magnetic field. These capabilities eliminate the main issue of other systems — electron return effect (ERE). Aurora RT is built upon a proprietary open-air MRI imaging system designed to address the unique challenges and clinical workflow for advanced radiation oncology procedures. Aurora RT integrates with existing department Treatment Planning Systems, and due to its RT beam being parallel to MRI field alignment, it doesn't require clinicians and physicists to compromise from standard treatment protocols.
Perpendicular magnetic field to the beam impacts treatment quality
High power MRI in connection with perpendicular field generate ERE and ESE
Closed circular MR creates claustrophobia and tunnel effect
Bore of small diameter increases patient discomfort
No tangential treatment (no couch lateral move)
High temperature MR requires liquid helium and quenching
Very low throughput of 6-10 patients per day makes financials challenging
No ERE, no ESE
Optimum Contrast to Noise ratio
Dedicated non obstructive coils
Ability to make lateral shifts to treat. tangentially, 23 cms left and right
Open magnet minimizes claustrophobia
Room temperature MR, no liquid helium and no quenching, no regular costly refill
Easy turn off for servicing
