First Installation of AlignRT in Greece: Mediterraneo Hospital Redefines Radiotherapy Standards

Radiotherapy, one of the core strategies in cancer treatment, is entering a new era. We are proud to announce the first installation of the AlignRT system in Greece, developed by VisionRT (UK), at Mediterraneo Hospital. This breakthrough technology doesn’t just promise precision — it delivers it.

What is AlignRT?

AlignRT is a Surface Guided Radiation Therapy (SGRT) system that uses advanced 3D optical surface imaging to monitor the patient’s position in real time during radiotherapy. No tattoos, no additional radiation, no invasive markers — the body’s surface becomes the guide for safe, accurate, and non-invasive treatment.

Proven Heart Protection in Left Breast Cancer Radiotherapy

A key reason for choosing AlignRT is its unique ability to protect the heart during left breast irradiation. By supporting the DIBH (Deep Inspiration Breath Hold) technique, AlignRT helps the patient hold a deep breath, which physically moves the heart away from the chest wall and out of the treatment field.

Thanks to AlignRT’s sub-millimeter precision and automatic beam-hold functionality, the treatment is only delivered when the patient is perfectly positioned — ensuring maximum heart protection.

Importantly, the only peer-reviewed clinical studies that have demonstrated statistically significant heart dose reduction during breast radiotherapy have been conducted exclusively using VisionRT’s AlignRT. When patients seek technology that protects their heart, this is the system they should ask for by name.

High-Precision Treatments for Head and Body

With the installation of AlignRT, Mediterraneo Hospital becomes the only medical center in Greece able to offer high-precision radiotherapy not only for breast cancer but also for head and body targets. The system supports advanced techniques such as SBRT (Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy), providing clinicians with confidence to deliver high doses safely and accurately.

AlignRT enables perfect patient alignment with the target area, minimizing setup errors and reducing the need for frequent imaging or extra radiation.

Evomed: Supporting Innovation with Expertise

At Evomed, we do more than supply equipment. We ensure full system installation, train clinical staff, and provide ongoing support so that cutting-edge technologies like AlignRT are seamlessly integrated into clinical workflows.

A Future of Accuracy — A Present of Trust

AlignRT is not just a system. It’s a new philosophy in radiotherapy — one that prioritizes safety, documentation, and above all, respect for the patient. With this installation, Mediterraneo Hospital sets a new benchmark in Greek oncology, offering treatments aligned with the highest international standards.

This is not just an upgrade. It’s a new chapter — one where radiotherapy becomes smarter, safer, and more human.
