LIAC HWL is the latest and most advanced model of SIT mobile electron linear accelerators: a reliable device to implement a modern and successful IOeRT program. LIAC HWL is available in two models: -model 10 MeV, with energies 4, 6, 8 and 10 MeV; -model 12 MeV, with energies 6, 8, 10 and 12 MeV. FLEXIBLE & EASY TO USE LIAC HWL’s weight is only 570 kg (1257 lb) and its flexible architecture allows a fast hard-docking procedure ensuring proper coverage of any anatomic region where the IOeRT treatment shall be delivered. LIAC HWL “captures” the scene in the OR only when the target is ready to be irradiated and leaves immediately after treatment is delivered. EASY TRANSPORTATION Because of its dimensions, LIAC HWL can be easily moved via its remote control from one operating room to another and from one floor to another by using any stretcher elevator, ensuring its use during the same day in multiple operating theaters. POWERFUL & SAFE LIAC HWL high mobility when combined with its high dose rate (IOeRT irradiation time is less than 2 minutes), ensures the implementation of faster and more reliable operating procedures. LIAC HWL allows the user to deliver the IOeRT dose to the target very fast, avoiding fluids and bleeding potential interfering with dose deposition. The appropriate energy and applicator selection allows the treatment of any volume of clinical interest (target) with a thickness up to 3.2 cm inside the 90% isodose (3.8 cm inside the 80% isodose). A radioprotection disc is temporarily inserted between the mammary gland and the chest wall in order to fully protect the healthy tissue underneath.
