Introducing AlignRT
AlignRT is an innovative technology which increases treatment accuracy and patient comfort during radiation therapy.

Studies suggest that 27% of patients have experienced avoidable heart blood flow defects because of their radiation treatment.

With AlignRT, you can be one step closer to confidently putting cancer behind you.
