Unparalleled Precision in Radiation Therapy

Why SDX® Stands Out

At DYN’R, we prioritize patient safety and treatment efficacy through our cutting-edge SDX® Respiratory Gating System. Designed to significantly enhance the accuracy of radiation delivery for tumors subject to respiratory motion, our system minimizes exposure of healthy tissues and maximizes impact on target areas. Trusted by specialists worldwide, SDX integrates seamlessly with existing radiation therapy protocols, offering a new standard of care. Discover how our innovative spirometric breathing control approach produces reproducible target positioning during imaging and radiation treatment.

Why Choose SDX®

The SDX® Advantage in Radiation Therapy

The SDX® System revolutionizes radiation therapy with its unparalleled ability to synchronize a patient’s breathing with radiation delivery, enhancing the precision and safety of treatments. By integrating real-time spirometric monitoring and clear visual biofeedback, SDX ensures the utmost stability of internal organs and the tumor treatment zone.

This innovative approach not only enables an increased dose directly to the tumor but also significantly reduces the risk of toxicity to surrounding vital organs. Ideal for managing thoracic and abdominal tumor motion, SDX® facilitates voluntary breath-hold techniques to:

  • Minimize tumor motion during imaging and treatment,
  • Enhance tumor imaging and visualization,
  • Narrow treatment margins for sparing normal tissue,
  • Allow for higher dosages with reduced organ toxicity,
  • Reposition vital organs safely away from high-dose regions.

Choosing SDX® means opting for a treatment that prioritizes patient safety, treatment effectiveness, and technological innovation in the fight against cancer.

The SDX system has received US FDA 510(k) clearances #K092479 and #K121845 with the following indications for use: SDX is intended for use in radiation therapy as an aid in allowing the patient and treatment staff to visualize a patient’s breathing process and to optimize breathing to limit internal motion during imaging & treatment. The SDX system including the automatic gating module is used to provide respiratory synchronization for radiation therapy imaging & treatment. The SDX system may be used for pediatric, adolescent and adult patients above the age of 5 years capable of understanding and following the radiotherapists’ instructions.

Dose-Volume Histogram (DVH)

In this treatment planning study by an SDX® user, the DVH illustrates a significant reduction in dose to healthy tissues using SDX in the treatment of a tumor located in the patient’s right lung. Using SDX, the target volume was reduced by ~20% as compared with the treatment plan calculated without using SDX (See Dosimetric Evaluation and Reproducibility of Breath-hold Plans in Intensity Modulated ProtonTherapy: An Initial Clinical Experience, Pouya Sabouri, PhD, et.al., Advances in Radiation Oncology (2024) 9, 101392, March 2024).

HOW SDX® Works

Initial training ensures patients are comfortable with Deep Inspiration Breath Hold (DIBH) techniques, using the SDX® System to achieve consistent, comfortable breath holds and enhance treatment precision.

CT SIMULATION &
Treatment Planning

Post-training, patients undergo CT simulation using DIBH with the SDX® System for precise imaging, organ stability, and optimized treatment planning.

Patient
Treatment

Using SDX® during treatment mirrors CT simulation, with patients controlling their breathing to optimize radiation delivery timing, monitored closely by clinicians.

Optional
Gating Modules

SDX® can be used with a Gating Module. Respiratory signals can be synchronized with imaging, treatment machines, gating the beam, or used manually.

Enhanced
Precision & Safety

Advanced spirometry and biofeedback maximize tumor targeting accuracy and minimize risks to vital organs, setting new standards in radiation therapy with SDX®.
