FREMONT, Calif. & SALZBURG, Austria – IntraOp Medical Corporation today announced a significant clinical milestone at Salzburg University Hospital (Universitätsklinikum Salzburg), where the 1,000th patient has been treated using the IntraOp® Mobetron® intraoperative radiation therapy (IORT) system. Since the installation of the Mobetron in 2020, the multidisciplinary team at Salzburg has expanded the use of IORT while pioneering advanced image-guided treatment workflows. [presse.salk.at]
The achievement highlights both the growing clinical adoption of electron-based IORT and Salzburg University Hospital’s long-standing leadership in radiation oncology. According to the hospital, the milestone builds nearly 30 years of interdisciplinary expertise in intraoperative radiation therapy and reflects its position as a global innovator in image-guided IORT.
Advancing Precision Radiation Therapy in the Operating Room
Intraoperative radiation therapy enables physicians to deliver a focused dose of radiation directly to the tumor bed during surgery. At Salzburg University Hospital, medical physicists and clinicians have further advanced this approach by integrating the IntraOp Mobetron with the ImagingRing mobile CBCT system from medPhoton, creating a highly sophisticated and efficient image-guided workflow.
Three-dimensional imaging data acquired during the procedure can be transferred directly into a radiation treatment planning system, enabling patient-specific adaptive treatment planning in real time within minutes in the operating room. This approach allows physicians to tailor radiation delivery to the patient’s anatomy at the moment of treatment while helping to minimize radiation exposure to surrounding healthy tissue.
Innovation Through Collaboration
The Salzburg workflow represents the result of close collaboration among surgeons, radiation oncologists, medical physicists, radiation therapists, and industry partners. The program combines advanced imaging, modern treatment planning, and intraoperative electron therapy into a unique clinical platform designed to support the continued evolution of personalized cancer treatment.
The hospital reports that this integrated approach is creating new therapeutic opportunities for selected cancer indications while contributing to ongoing advancements in precision oncology.
