Interbalkan Medical Center Thessaloniki Installs VisionRT’s Most Advanced SGRT Systems: AlignRT Horizon, InBore & SimRT

Technology meets precision, and innovation stands beside life itself. The Interbalkan Medical Center of Thessaloniki takes a bold step into the future of radiotherapy with the first combined installation in Greece of three cutting-edge systems from VisionRT: AlignRT Horizon, AlignRT InBore, and SimRT.

Installed and supported by Evomed, this powerful combination brings the center’s technological capabilities in line with top-tier European oncology institutions, offering treatments with unmatched accuracy, safety, and a truly patient-centered approach.

What is AlignRT Horizon?

AlignRT Horizon is VisionRT’s most advanced Surface Guided Radiation Therapy (SGRT) system to date. With lightning-fast capture speeds, ultra-high resolution, and advanced motion filtering, it delivers submillimeter accuracy in monitoring and aligning patient position — in real time, without tattoos, additional radiation, or invasive markers.

AlignRT InBore: Precision Inside Closed-Bore Linacs

AlignRT InBore enables full SGRT functionality in closed-bore linear accelerators such as the Varian Halcyon. This opens the door to heart-sparing DIBH (Deep Inspiration Breath Hold) techniques and ultra-precise beam delivery for Halcyon users — with continuous tracking and automatic beam hold for maximum patient safety.

SimRT: Accuracy from Simulation to Treatment

SimRT brings SGRT into the simulation phase, allowing clinicians to digitally capture and reference the patient’s optimal position from the very first session. This ensures reproducibility and minimizes positional corrections during treatment. The result? Smoother workflows, increased accuracy, and more consistent outcomes.

Technology That Protects the Heart — and Inspires Trust

With the integration of these systems, the Interbalkan Medical Center becomes one of Europe’s most comprehensively equipped SGRT centers. Capable of delivering advanced techniques such as DIBH, SBRT, and SRS, the center now offers:

• High-precision radiotherapy for complex anatomical sites

• Documented heart protection during left breast irradiation

• Lower overall radiation dose by minimizing the need for additional imaging

• Streamlined clinical workflows with real-time beam monitoring

It's worth noting: Only VisionRT’s AlignRT has been featured in peer-reviewed studies proving significant heart dose reduction in breast radiotherapy. For patients seeking evidence-based technology, this is the name to look for.

Evomed: Empowering Innovation

As VisionRT’s official partner in Greece, Evomed handled the full installation, configuration, and clinical staff training. Because technology only becomes meaningful when combined with deep expertise, our mission is to ensure each system delivers maximum clinical value — from day one.

Precision. Protection. Innovation.With this strategic upgrade, the Interbalkan Medical Center of Thessaloniki becomes a national and regional benchmark in radiotherapy excellence. And this is only the beginning.
