Temporary Radiotherapy Vault (TRV)

 By RAD-Technology Medical Systems

The TRV is a Temporary Radiotherapy Vault developed to enable Radiation Oncology departments and practices to continue to treat patients while upgrading their Linear Accelerator and renovating their vaults.

What’s the difference?

The Patented RAD PRO System has been around for several years and is perfect as a permanent or bridge solution.  By “bridge” solution is meant a 24 -48 month use facility that serves to bridge the time period between groundbreaking of a traditional Cancer Center and the time of completion resulting in the treatment of patients.

With the RAD PRO System, any facility can begin treating patients and start producing revenue within four (4) to six (6) months of going to contract.

 There are many instances where the customer only needs a three (3) to Six (6) month solution while they remove old equipment, renovate their facility or increase their shielding, install upgraded, modern equipment and go through the Acceptance and Commissioning process. It was for this purpose that RAD developed the patented TRV.

There are over a thousand practices in the US with antiquated equipment - unable to shut down long enough to update their facilities with equipment capable of delivering IMRT or IGRT treatments.  The cost of equipment replacement, in terms of lost revenue, threat to revenue streams via lost referral patterns and loss of staff is simply too great.  The TRV by RAD-Technology Medical Systems is the solution. Developed for short term leasing, the TRV is a highly relocatable radiation vault with the Linear Accelerator installed and tested prior to shipment.  Beam data modeled for Eclipse, Pinnacle or CMS treatment planning systems can be sent ahead of installation so treatment plans of existing patients can be prepared in advance and the practice can be ready to deliver treatments on the day of acceptance without the need to ramp down from the existing facility and ramp up to the new.

RAD’s first TRV is equipped with a Low Energy Varian 600C/D, including a 120 Leaf MLC and an aSi-500 Portal Imager.  The TRV has been designed to shield and house a 6/10 High Energy Linac as well and this will be an option in future TRV units for an additional fee.  The TRV is available for rental only, with a minimum three (3) month lease period, and will not be offered for sale.  Three (3) to six (6) months is the anticipated normal lease period but longer leases are possible where necessary.
