FLASH MD! BE The FIRST
At SIT - Sordina IORT Technologies S.p.a. – we have been committed for years in the development and commercialization of linear electron accelerators for application in surgical oncology. After having developed and launched the ElectronFlash technology, which supports basic Flash research with performance typical of a highly reliable and measurable medical device, we are now ready to kick-off the first phase of the Flash Medical Device IOeRT and VHEE Project .
Today we are launching the First Flash IOeRT Medical Device.
Because of our success and our desire to contribute further to developing know-how and expertise in the clinical setting, SIT is proud to announce a scientific contest - FLASH MD! BE the FIRST – which will give a qualified EU hospital the opportunity to utilize the world’s rst Flash IORT Medical Device on loan for 6 years.
The 6-year loan is set up to establish the first EU clinical center to use Flash IORT radiotherapy according to the ESTRO indications. The objectives are to produce innovative scientic evidence so Flash IOeRT can contribute as an addition to usual care and to improve the treatment pathway and outcomes in oncology.
