| AdvancedROS clinically implements the Aktina PinPoint Frameless SRS system on their Tomotherapy machine in September of 2009 and since then their patient numbers for both Cranial SRS and Head and Neck have steadily increased. |  |

James K. Gerstley, M.D. Radiation Oncologist, Co-Director“We feel more confident implementing SRS on TomoTherapy with the Aktina PinPoint system. The transition from thermoplastic masks was effortless and we immediately saw the improvements that the Aktina PinPoint system could provide. Patient’s were simply setting up better, without the need to monitor their changes throughout the course of treatment in order to fabricate new masks” |

Andrew Tamas, R.T. (T) Chief Radiation Therapist“With the PinPoint system, we see a vast increase in terms of patient compliance compared to thermoplastic masks. The increased complexity and setup time has been negligible.”
