To ensure that the head is correctly positioned at the time of treatment, preparation involves fitting a thermoformed plastic mask, which does not require hospitalization or anesthesia. The entire procedure, from preparation to treatment, is completely painless for the patient. The duration of each session and their limited number, between 1 and 5, make treatment much more comfortable for the patient.<\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Invented by Professor John Adler, who had already developed the Cyberknife\u00ae machine, the ZAP-X uses high-energy X-rays to create 360\u00b0 beams within the lesion or tumor thanks to its gyroscopic design. It performs precise
3D tracking of the patient’s position using an onboard control imaging system that produces images every
45 seconds. In addition, it features the first real-time monitoring system for the administration of treatment to the patient, reducing the risk of human and mechanical errors with an automatic shutdown in the event of a discrepancy between the planned dosimetry and that during treatment. <\/p><\/div><\/p><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

ZAP-X works on the principle of intersecting mini-X-ray beams produced by a miniaturized particle gas pedal, enabling it to target any intracranial lesion or lesion of the cervical spinal cord. The machine’s technical design enables very high doses to be delivered with great precision, while minimizing the risk of damage to surrounding healthy tissue (notably by reducing the radiation scattered around the target). Compared with other irradiation methods, ZAP-X stands out for its ability to deliver rapid treatment, and to treat tumors or other lesions that are difficult to access or difficult to operate on, with acceptable risks.<\/p>\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<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Vermeer and the art of precision<\/h4>
Radiosurgery, an extremely precise discipline, finds an unexpected resonance in the world of art. In partnership with the Mus\u00e9e du Louvre, Johannes Vermeer's iconic painting The Lacemaker becomes an inspiring metaphor for the rigor and meticulousness required in this revolutionary medical advance. <\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

As it is a non-invasive technology, ZAP-X can avoid surgery in a number of cases, which can be a major advantage for patients who are not candidates for surgery due to the location of the tumor or their general condition.
Radiosurgery may also be offered as a complement to surgery when a fragment of the tumor or lesion has been deliberately left in place due to the neurological risk of surgery.<\/p>

Overall, as a complement or alternative to surgery, ZAP-X radiosurgery greatly reduces risks.<\/p><\/div>

Thanks to its ability to deliver highly localized and well-targeted doses, ZAP-X can treat tumors located in complex or hard-to-reach anatomical areas, which is not always possible with other radiotherapy methods. This is particularly important for certain areas of vision and hearing that are particularly sensitive to radiation. <\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
