C-RAD announced their collaboration with the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences (UAMS) to create the first demonstration site in the United States to feature C-RAD's surface guided radiation therapy (SGRT) technology on both proton and photon systems. SGRT is an advanced technology integral to the safe delivery of radiation therapy by using advanced 3D camera technology to track and monitor patient movements during set-up and treatment, helping to improve precision and protection for the patient. The new UAMS Health Radiation Oncology Center, part of the UAMS Winthrop P. Rockefeller Cancer Institute, will house the Proton Center of Arkansas, the first such center in the state. It will be equipped with an IBA Proteus One Proton Therapy system and three new linear accelerators, including Varian TrueBeam and Edge -- technology that will advance precision cancer care for patients in Arkansas.

C-RAD's SGRT solutions provide a tool for accurate patient setup prior to the treatment in the CT room and continuous real-time monitoring of the patient during radiation therapy treatment. C-RAD's Sentinel 4DCT and Catalyst+HD systems with the complete software suite includes modules for respiratory gating, patient setup, intra-fraction motion management and patient positioning, as well as a dedicated software that supports stereotactic treatments. The new UAMS Health Radiation Oncology Center is expected to begin clinical treatments in May 2023.

The Proton Center of Arkansas, a partnership between UAMS, Arkansas Children's, Baptist Health and Proton International, is set to open a few months later.
