  • Enhanced precision<\/strong><\/span>
    The operating principle of the ZAP-X\u00ae is the intersection of micro\u2013X-ray beams generated by a miniaturized linear accelerator, enabling precise targeting of any intracranial lesion and the cervical spinal cord. The system\u2019s technical design allows the delivery of very high doses with great accuracy while minimizing the risk of damage to surrounding healthy tissue (notably by reducing scattered radiation around the target). Compared with other radiotherapy methods, ZAP-X\u00ae stands out for its ability to perform fast treatments and to treat tumors or other lesions that are hard to access or not easily operable, with acceptable safety margins.

    <\/li>
  • Faster treatment<\/strong><\/span>
    The ZAP-X\u00ae system reduces treatment time compared with traditional techniques\u2014both per session and across the overall treatment course.

    <\/li>
  • Enhanced comfort<\/strong><\/span>
    To ensure correct head positioning during treatment, preparation involves fitting a thermoplastic, custom-molded mask, which requires neither hospitalization nor anesthesia. The entire process\u2014from preparation to treatment\u2014is completely painless for the patient. The short duration of each session and the limited number of sessions (between 1 and 5) make the treatment much more comfortable for patients.

    <\/li>
  • Treatment of hard-to-reach tumors<\/span><\/strong>
    Thanks to its ability to deliver highly localized, precisely targeted doses, ZAP-X\u00ae can treat tumors located in complex or hard-to-reach anatomical areas\u2014something that is not always possible with other radiotherapy methods. This is particularly important for certain regions involved in vision and hearing, which are especially sensitive to radiation.

    <\/li>
  • Adaptability to different types of lesions<\/span><\/strong>
    ZAP-X\u00ae is particularly suited to the treatment of:
    • Benign intracranial tumors (mainly meningiomas and schwannomas) and malignant tumors (primarily brain metastases, but also skull-base chordomas);<\/li>
    • Cerebral vascular anomalies (primarily arteriovenous malformations and cavernomas);<\/li>
    • Functional disorders (certain types of trigeminal neuralgia and cluster headache, specific forms of epilepsy, and some movement disorders).

      <\/li><\/ul><\/li>
    • Fewer side effects<\/span><\/strong>
      Owing to its high precision, ZAP-X\u00ae helps minimize the risk of side effects to the healthy tissues and organs adjacent to the treated lesion.<\/li><\/ul>
      • Optimized treatment planning<\/strong><\/span>
        With ZAP-X\u00ae, planning and control systems enable better dose management, with fine adjustments that limit the impact on healthy tissue.

        <\/li>
      • Less invasive treatment<\/strong><\/span>
        As a non-invasive technology, ZAP-X\u00ae can avoid surgery in a number of cases\u2014an important advantage for patients who are not candidates for an operation due to tumor location or overall health status. Radiosurgery may also be offered in addition to surgery when a fragment of tumor or lesion is deliberately left in place because of operative neurological risk. Overall, whether used alongside or instead of surgery, ZAP-X\u00ae radiosurgery can substantially reduce risk.<\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
