In Dubai, in an impressive ceremony organized by VisionRT, the company that invented SGRT superficial guided radiotherapy, the Greek medical equipment company EVOMED was awarded the title of “Distributor of the Year” for the year 2022. This particular distinction is the most honorable distinction that a representation company can receive and this makes us particularly proud, as we had to “compete” with great participants – representatives from all over Europe, the Middle East, Asia and India. The award was received by the Founder and General Manager of the company, Panagiotis Xydias. SGRT technology, invented by VisionRT in 2001, is the most modern addition to the field of cancer treatment and specifically radiotherapy. SGRT-VisionRT upgrades an existing radiotherapy system, so that it can achieve greater radiation accuracy in moving tumors due to breathing, protect the heart during irradiation of the left breast, eliminate the use of permanent tattoos and markers, and offer overall a higher quality and safer radiotherapy, comparable to the leading radiotherapy centers abroad. The development of SGRT by VisionRT is a great example that technology can and should be an aid in improving people's lives, when used correctly and with the person himself and his needs in mind. Our goal at EVOMED is for people to live with the best possible quality and this is also our most important corporate value! A value that motivates us to search for innovative technologies in the global scientific market that serve human needs and to introduce them exclusively to the Greek Medical Community.

In Crete, where medical care meets human compassion, the University Hospital of Heraklion (PAGNI)  takes a significant step into the future of radiotherapy . We are proud to announce the successful installation of the AlignRT system  by VisionRT (UK)  in the hospital’s radiotherapy department — an innovation that brings advanced precision and proven safety to cancer treatment on the island. Installed and supported by Evomed , the system is now fully integrated into clinical use, with the hospital’s staff having undergone comprehensive training to maximize its clinical impact. What is AlignRT? AlignRT  is a cutting-edge Surface Guided Radiation Therapy (SGRT)  system that monitors the patient’s position in real time — without tattoos, invasive markers, or additional radiation. Using 3D surface imaging technology, AlignRT ensures that radiation is delivered only to the intended target , with sub-millimeter accuracy. It’s a system designed not just to treat, but to protect . Heart Protection in Left Breast Radiotherapy: Proven and Exclusive The installation of AlignRT at PAGNI is particularly significant for patients undergoing left breast radiotherapy . The system supports the DIBH (Deep Inspiration Breath Hold)  technique, which allows patients to hold a deep breath, naturally moving the heart away from the radiation field. Crucially, all peer-reviewed studies that have demonstrated statistically significant heart dose reduction have been conducted using VisionRT’s AlignRT . This is not just promise — it’s proven protection. Patients who are informed about their treatment options should look specifically for this technology  when heart safety is a concern. A First for Crete – A Step Forward for Oncology With the installation of AlignRT, PAGNI becomes the first and only radiotherapy center in Crete  to offer: High-precision treatments  for various anatomical regions Proven heart protection  for left breast irradiation Reduced imaging and unnecessary radiation exposure A non-invasive, patient-friendly approach  without permanent skin marks SGRT doesn’t just enhance infrastructure — it elevates the standard of care . It represents a commitment to both technological excellence and patient safety . Evomed: Empowering Innovation with Support At Evomed , we stand beside every hospital that chooses evidence-based innovation. From installation to training, we ensure that technology becomes clinical reality , and that every upgrade translates into better outcomes for patients . PAGNI is now looking ahead — with precision, safety, and compassion. Radiotherapy in Crete has entered a new era. And the journey has just begun.
