How Elekta Unity MR-Linac Works

The Unity MR-linac allows doctors to see a tumor clearly and treat it precisely every time. The technology provides real-time information on tumor location, organ function and therapeutic targeting that has not been available before. With the Unity MR-linac, physicians can monitor and assess the tumor’s position while a patient is being treated. https://www.froedtert.com/mrlinac In January 2019, physicians at the Froedtert & the Medical College of Wisconsin Clinical Cancer Center at Froedtert Hospital in Milwaukee, Wis., treated their first patient using the Elekta Unity MR-linac. The Froedtert & MCW Clinical Cancer Center is one of just two U.S. centers to do so. (The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston is the other facility.)
