Research abstract
? DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This NIH Bridge Grant will result in a conduction cooled, liquid helium free, MRI background magnet for a commercial image guided radiation treatment (IGRT) for cancer treatment. The program will ensure the successful continued commercialization of our customer's image guided radiation therapy (IGRT) system, a vital cancer treatment device now treating patients. The result of the project removes our customer's present system from its dependence on liquid helium, the availability of which is threatened by worldwide shortages in the next few years. The cancer treatment system makes available image guided radiation therapy (IGRT) that delivers gamma radiation in real time to malignant tumors with pinpoint accuracy in spite of organ movement. This is realized with the concurrent real time radiation treatment and MRI imaging. The results of this Bridge Grant through Hyper Tech makes possible the uninterrupted progress of this vital technology by providing a helium-free cr
