MRI-guided Radiation Therapy System Market Expansion Projected to Gain an Uptick During 2018 to 2026

Radiation therapy is evolving with new technologies and techniques. Most of these new methods are focused on maximizing the dose to the tumor site and protecting the surrounding tissue. Image guided radiation therapy offers dose distribution accuracy along with real-time treatment effect. CT-guided radiation treatment is one such image-guided radiation therapy system. However, this requires repeated exposure to X-rays, and has a relatively poor contrast in soft tissue. An MRI-guided radiation therapy system overcomes the drawbacks of a CT-based radiation system, as it gives better contrast images in soft tissue, and does not require radiation. These MRI-guided radiation therapy systems are suitable for a number of targeted cancer treatment procedures. Some of the areas studied include the brain, head & neck, breasts, reproductive systems, rectum, liver, and lungs.

ViewRay was the first to enter the MRI-guided radiation therapy system market, with MRIdian. One of the emerging applications of MRI-guided radiation therapy is stereotactic body radiation therapy that offers more precise targeted treatment at higher dosages and in fewer fractions. The company also plans to launch a linac version the MRIdian soon. The first preclinical system has been installed in the Siteman Cancer Center at the Barnes-Jewish Hospital and the Washington University in St. Louis. Philips, and Elekta has entered the market through collaborative efforts. The two companies (Philips & Elekta) have been working together since 2012, by gathering eight leading institutions for the development and testing of an MRI-guided radiation therapy systems. The MRI-guided radiation therapy system developed by the two companies is a Linac based MRI-guided radiation therapy system.

A number of investments are also driving the growth of the MRI-guided radiation therapy system market. For instance, Henry Ford spent US$ 10 million for advanced MRI-guided radiation therapy system programs in Grosse Point Farms. The MRIdian Linac is the first Linac-based MRI-guided radiation therapy system installed in the world. These MRI-guided radiation systems are said to offer precision medicine with real-time view of the target.
