CLEVELAND, Oct. 21, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- ViewRay, Inc. (Nasdaq: VRAY) announced today that the company's MRIdian® Linac MRI-guided radiation therapy system will be featured at the 2020 Annual Meeting of the American Society for Radiation Oncology (ASTRO), being held virtually October 24 to 28, 2020. The meeting will feature presentations that showcase the MRIdian system, including how clinicians use this cutting-edge Stereotactic MRI-Guided Adaptive Radiation Therapy (SMART) technology to tackle both tough-to-treat and ubiquitous cancer, expand clinical experience with the device, and impact patient outcomes.

At this year's virtual ASTRO meeting, nearly 40 scientific session presentations/posters will highlight the important role of MRIdian in cancer care, including data bolstering its clinical value in the treatment of pancreas, prostate and tough-to-treat tumors such as oligometastases and renal cancer. With the clarity provided by MRIdian's real-time imaging and automatic beam gating, physicians are equipped to account for anatomical changes and motion caused by respiration or other bodily processes to personalize treatment to the patient's unique needs.

Acibadem Maslak Hospital will present its data on MRIdian treatment for low- to intermedia-risk prostate cancer patients. This study complements the Amsterdam University Medical Centers studies on patients with intermediate- to high-risk prostate cancer, where no fiducials were required and which resulted in fewer grade 2 toxicities than published data*.
