Vision RT is a finalist for the Royal Academy of Engineering’s MacRobert Award, the UK’s longest running and most prestigious national prize for engineering innovation.

MacRobert Award judge Professor David Delpy CBE said: “3D imaging technology has become almost ubiquitous in recent years, but to be able to continuously map the surface of the human body and use this to ensure that the radiation beam is targeted at the ideal point to sub-millimetre accuracies is unprecedented.  Such an achievement has required innovation at every level, combining software and hardware expertise.  The impressive team at Vision RT has defined surface-guided radiation therapy as the reference standard for treatment and continues to invest in innovation and to push boundaries, for the benefit of millions of cancer patients.”
