Enhance your radiotherapy treatment with SDX breathing control system

SDX breathing control system uses a ‘voluntary Deep Inspiration Breath-Hold’ (DIBH) gating technique for further optimization of treatment for a.o. breast, liver and lung cancer.

The SDX system is equipped with a spirometer through which the patient breathes with the aid of a mouthpiece and anti-bacterial filter. For the purposes of hygiene, each patient uses a new mouthpiece and filter. The spirometer is also easy to decontaminate.

Video goggles provide the patient a visual representation of the breathing curve. In this way he or she is involved in the process and is it easier to repeat the same inspiration every time.

Advantages

better patient comfort → voluntary breath-hold method is less stressful and more feasible
by taking into account the patient’s capacities reproducible results are obtained both during simulation and during treatment
not location-bound → easy transport between simulation and treatment room (trolley)
