Siemens Healthineers unveiled its ultrafast Accela radiotherapy system at the ASTRO 2026 meeting in Boston, MA. The system combines precision delivery with speeds fast enough for stereotactic treatments in a single breath-hold, thanks to a new delivery technique called NeoArc dynamic modulated arc therapy (DMAT). DMAT simultaneously evaluates dosimetric objectives and delivery efficiency, enabling clinicians to tailor treatments for speed and precision.
Accela integrates high-speed gantry rotation, high dose rates, and a dual-layer multileaf collimator (MLC), allowing for single breath-hold stereotactic treatments and multi-site stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) in less than 60 seconds. The first patient treatments with Accela are scheduled for December in Europe, with CE marking and FDA clearance expected early next year.
