RTsafe and ZAP Surgical team up to promote advances in cranial radiosurgery

Provider of quality assurance products and services in stereotactic radiosurgery RTsafe has partnered with ZAP Surgical, developer of the ZAP-X Gyroscopic Radiosurgery platform, to promote advances in cranial radiosurgery.

RTsafe’s dosimetry phantom based on true-to-life human anatomy will be integrated into ZAP Surgical’s existing and future installations.

RTsafe’s phantom developed specifically for use with the ZAP-X platform incorporates a vault-free design that typically eliminates the need for shielded treatment rooms. This solution is expected to play a pivotal role in commissioning, training, educational initiatives, confidence building, periodic QA protocols and patient-specific QA, reinforcing the capabilities of ZAP-X.

RTsafe founder Evangelos Pappas commented: “We are thrilled to join forces with ZAP Surgical in this transformative endeavour. By harnessing the power of our advanced phantom tech- nology, we aim to elevate the standard of care in cranial radiosurgery and to highlight the unparalleled value of the ZAP-X platform.”

Neurosurgeon and ZAP Surgical founder Dr John Adler added: “At ZAP Surgical, we are dedicated to pushing the boundaries of innovation in the field of radiosurgery. By integrating RTsafe’s cutting-edge phantom technology into our systems, we are reinforcing our commitment to excellence and ensuring that clinicians worldwide have access to the most advanced tools for delivering exceptional care.”
