UZ Brussel First to Treat Breast Cancer Patients with New Brainlab Deep Inspiration Breath Hold with Instant X-Ray Confirmation

ExacTrac Dynamic® Deep Inspiration Breath Hold integrates seamlessly for image guided and surface guided radiation therapy


MUNICH, Germany, May 19, 2022—Brainlab announced today that clinicians at UZ Brussel are the first to treat patients with the company’s new Deep Inspiration Breath Hold (DIBH)*

technology designed to streamline image guided and surface guided radiation therapy (IGRT and SGRT) and deliver the highest quality of care for breast cancer patients. UZ Brussel 


is a university hospital at the Vrije Universiteit Brussel with 721 hospital beds and has almost 4,000 employees. UZ Brussel successfully validated the technology and presented research at the Novalis Circle Symposium at ESTRO on May 8, 2022. The research demonstrates that Brainlab ExacTrac Dynamic® DIBH streamlines the process and increases positioning confidence through “on-the-fly” X-Ray confirmation. Internal anatomy verification at the breath hold level may increase confidence in dose sparing of critical structures like the heart.
