Zero in on a moving target.
SDX® Respiratory Gating System | by DYN'R Medical Systems
SDX is the most effective and precise way to achieve reproducible positioning for breast, lung and other thoracoabdominal lesions. The only voluntary breath-hold system to pair direct lung volume measurement with clear bio-visual feedback, SDX gives providers real-time internal information for the highest accuracy during imaging and treatment.
Eliminate the potential for errors that exist with reliance on external markers, spare nearby organs and safely deliver increased dosages.
CHALLENGE: MOVING TUMORS
Extremely accurate targeting is critical. Adverse effects are still common due to difficulty in sparing surrounding tissue.
Though camera systems are easy to use, their main strength is patient positioning prior to treatment. But to what extent is the movement of the thorax a true reflection of what’s happening internally?
Solution: SDX SYSTEM
SDX instantly and significantly improves the accuracy, safety and quality of radiation therapy for breast, lung, liver or any tumor affected by respiratory motion.

Moving tumors have met their match.
In worldwide use for over 20 years, SDX is trusted in more than 200 centers in 16 countries, including 15 proton centers. Developed by DYN’R Medical Systems, an industry leader in spirometry and respiratory measurement for over 30 years.
Practice benefits
SDX is an affordable, extremely effective solution for thoracoabdominal lesions. Real-time internal information ensures millimetric precision while sparing critical structures and healthy tissue. SDX is excellent as a stand-alone solution for imaging and treatment, or as a complement to camera systems to increase accuracy.

Patient experience
With SDX, patients remain in complete control of their breath throughout treatment. A dedicated patient screen guides patient breath holds with simple visualizations and familiar, calming imagery. Many patients also find their active involvement to be an important motivating factor in successfully completing treatment cycles.
