What are the advantages of the Sensus device over older radiation therapy devices?

Skin Cancer

So I have to disclose, I am a consultant for census healthcare. I have helped develop some of the not only technologies, but of this I'm also president of the American Continuous Oncology Society. There are a couple of new, not just census, there's one or other especially new computer controlled radiation therapy devices. And superficial radiation therapy has dramatic benefits over a lot of other radiation therapy aspects, such as electron beam, because there's actually higher curates and lower side effects for nonmelanom skin cancer. The tremendous advantage of the census device is that it's computer controlled. It really is much more accurate at dialing in exactly what you want to do. There are a great amount of different options you have from 50 to 100 kb, so you can look at different depths of tumor. You have the ability to have very large areas for keloid. We've published extensively on this for in Q wide recurrence following excisions. So there's a great degree of flexibility with that device you never had before. And as I said, you have the computer controlled aspect as well to be able to give you really good calculations from that perspective as well.
