- OU Health Stephenson Cancer Center in Oklahoma City has acquired a $3 million Varian Ethos Adaptive Radiation Therapy System, the first of its kind in the state.
- The technology is AI-powered and allows for real-time adaptation of radiation treatment plans based on the patient’s daily anatomy and tumor configuration.
- The Ethos System utilizes artificial intelligence to adjust treatment targets and normal tissues automatically, thereby aiding the oncologists in making more efficient treatment decisions.
- The new system has the potential to improve the precision of radiation delivery, allowing for shorter treatment courses and higher radiation doses within the same efficacy and side effect profile.
- OU Health plans to initiate the use of this new technology with several patients beginning treatment next week.
