Accuray Incorporated (NASDAQ: ARAY) announced today that Royal Brisbane and 
Women's Hospital (RBWH), the largest medical facility in Queensland, Australia, 
has selected two Radixact (

) artificial intelligence (AI)-driven four-dimensional (4D) dynamic delivery 
technology to expand access to potentially life-saving radiotherapy treatments 
to more patients. The Radixact Systems will replace existing, older 
TomoTherapy(R) Systems and in combination with ClearRT and Synchrony, are 
designed to provide unprecedented versatility in the types of tumors and 
indications that can be treated - and superior efficiency, precision and 
accuracy in radiation treatment delivery.

High-quality images are crucial to each step of the radiotherapy treatment 
workflow. ClearRT, a helical CT imaging solution, was created to empower 
medical care teams to produce exceptional diagnostic-like quality CT images, 
quickly and cost-effectively. ClearRT imaging enables high confidence in the 
patient set-up and registration that form the basis of radiation therapy 
treatment planning, delivery and monitoring, and are key to the successful 
treatment of organ-confined, locally advanced and metastatic tumors. ClearRT 
also integrates with other Accuray-only applications, such as Synchrony, a 
sophisticated technology that adapts treatment delivery to tumor motion in real 
time. 

"We value our long-standing partnership with the RBWH team and are honored they 
made the decision to upgrade to the Radixact System integrated with ClearRT and 
Synchrony – novel solutions that we believe will enable them to advance 
patients' quality of care," said Suzanne Winter, president at Accuray. "The 
Radixact System is a workhorse radiotherapy device capable of efficiently and 
effectively treating the routine cases seen daily, as well as the most 
difficult cases when needed. We are committed to supporting our customers with 
innovative new products that improve the lives of people diagnosed with cancer 
and facilitate its management as a long-term, chronic condition."

RBWH is a world-leading healthcare, research and innovation hub, known for its 
preeminent cancer care. In 2019, RBWH's multidisciplinary staff provided more 
than 153,023 cancer care treatments, consultations, and admissions. alphaXRT, 
as the exclusive distributor, installer and training partner for the Accuray 
CyberKnife(R) and TomoTherapy(R) platform portfolios in Australia and New 
Zealand, worked with the RBWH team as they evaluated radiotherapy systems and 
selected the Radixact(R) System with ClearRT(TM) and Synchrony(R).

RBWH is seeing an increasing number of patients diagnosed with cancer. When the 
hospital's medical care team decided to upgrade their TomoTherapy Systems, they 
felt it was important to select a fast, versatile device capable of precisely 
treating virtually any indication and complexity. Based on the team's 
experience with TomoTherapy, they considered Radixact to be the ideal system 
for them. It offers continuous 360-degree precision plus much needed 
flexibility with the integration of ClearRT and Synchrony. Once installed, they 
will have access to a powerful set of tools for increasing patient throughput 
while delivering (ultra) hypofractionated and conventionally fractionated 
treatments, personalized to the unique requirements of each patient.
