Sunnybrook acquires MR-Linac for cancer care

June 7, 2018


Elekta Unity

TORONTO – In a Canadian first, Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre has acquired a new MR-Linac, the Elekta Unity, a device for oncology.

This new technology is the first machine in the world to combine radiation and high-resolution magnetic resonance imaging (MRI),

and will let doctors at the Odette Cancer Centre target tumours and monitor their response to radiation with unprecedented precision – even as a tumour moves inside the body – thanks to the machine’s real-time MRI guidance.

As the first Canadian centre to install an MR-Linac, Sunnybrook’s team will remain at the forefront of cancer care, and an invaluable source of expertise and teaching for cancer ablation specialists across the country.

In the upcoming months, the team will image volunteers and continue to prepare the machine for clinical use. They hope to start treating patients in a clinical trial by early 2019. Learn more at sunnybrook.ca/cat.
