"We have the potential to change the course of radiation therapy with a shorter treatment schedule, lower potential costs, and reduction in complications associated with an invasive procedure," said Martin Fuss, M.D., Chief Medical Officer at ViewRay. "MRIdian's capabilities of real-time soft tissue tracking, on-table adaptative dose planning, and automated beam gating provide physicians the confidence and tools they need to deliver a precise and accurate dose while sparing sensitive structures near the target in order to achieve better patient outcomes."

Article in Press in the European Urology Oncology Journal, titled: "Magnetic Resonance-Guided Sterotactic Radiotherapy for Localized Prostate Cancer: Final Results on Patient-Reported Outcomes of a Prospective Phase 2 Study," authored by Shyama U. Tetar, Anna M.E. Bruynzeel, Swie S. Oei, Suresh Senan, Tamara Fraikin, Berend J. Slotman, R. Jeroen A. van Moorselaar, and Frank J. Lagerwaard. According to the study, "In this prospective phase 2 trial in men with localize prostate cancer, the use of sterotactic MRgRT for optimal target coverage allowed the use of small planning margins, a finding that may account for low patient-and clinician-reported toxicity rates at one-year follow up. The absence of grade 3+ GI or GU toxicity is encouraging."

About ViewRay®
ViewRay, Inc. (Nasdaq: VRAY), designs, manufactures, and markets the MRIdian® MR-Guided Radiation Therapy System. MRIdian is built upon a proprietary high-definition MR imaging system designed from the ground up to address the unique challenges and clinical workflow for advanced radiation oncology. Unlike MR systems used in diagnostic radiology, MRIdian's high-definition MR was purpose-built to address specific challenges, including beam distortion, skin toxicity, and other concerns that potentially may arise when high magnetic fields interact with radiation beams. ViewRay and MRIdian are registered trademarks of ViewRay, Inc.
Intended Use
The MRIdian Linac System, with magnetic resonance imaging capabilities, is intended to provide stereotactic radiosurgery and precision radiotherapy for lesions, tumors, and conditions anywhere in the body where radiation treatment is indicated.
