ZAP-X enables the possible migration of SRS beyond the urban hospital and brings world-class radiosurgery to communities which often previously lacked access.
Enhance patient convenience with ZAP-X and reach underserved patient populations via lower-cost non-hospital and outpatient locations.
Representing the latest innovations in advanced radiosurgery, ZAP-X often provides sites with significant media interest and offers clinicians exceptional opportunities to present, publish, and demonstrate SRS thought leadership.
As the first and only vault-free SRS delivery system, ZAP-X eliminates the requirement of 2-3M pounds of high-density concrete and steel for shielded radiation bunker construction, and ~$1M+ USD in infrastructure expense.
Utilizing a modern 1500MU/min linear accelerator, ZAP-X eliminates the recurring ~$1M USD cost for live radioactive source replacements and removes the related overhead expense for arduous regulatory licensing and source security.
Developed exclusively for the streamlined treatment of brain tumors, lesions, and other conditions of the head and neck, ZAP-X® Gyroscopic Radiosurgery® platform redefines the future of radiosurgery and aspires to set new standards in SRS delivery.
To simultaneously optimize dose fall-off and conformality, ZAP-X’s dual independent gantries allow for an unparalleled spherical workspace and simple delivery of >1000 unique non-coplanar beam angles – not as an exception, but as routine clinical practice.
Utilizing a tungsten-shielded circular collimation system, ZAP-X lowers radiation leakage to less than 0.002% of the primary beam. Compared to the 3.00% maximum potential leakage of multi-purpose platforms, ZAP-X aims to strictly limit healthy brain exposure and lower the risk of inducing patient neurocognitive deficit.
ZAP-X is exclusively designed to significantly reduce non-therapeutic dose to adjacent critical structures. Unlike the high-scatter 6-10 MV beam energies commonplace with multi-purpose radiation delivery platforms, ZAP-X is tailor-made for SRS with a 3 MV beam (approximate equivalent to the 1.25 MeV beam of Co-60).
The SRS-only design of ZAP-X allows for an unprecedented linac source-axis distance (SAD) of 45 cm – reducing beam penumbra by ~50% from the 100 cm SAD typical of full-body radiation platforms. The potential benefit: less dose to the eyes, optic nerves, brain stem, and other organs at-risk.
Built for radiosugery. Built for the brain.
