Zanzonico, a physicist and co-direc- tor of the Small-Animal Imaging Core Facility in the Zuckerman Research Center at Memori- al Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in New York, uses a Precision X-Ray system that's about 3 years old and appreciates its capabilities. "We now can much more reliably recapitulate what's done in clinical radiation therapy. We can deliver a contoured dose of radiation to a tumor while largely avoiding irradiation of normal tis- sues that may be nearby," Zanzonico said. The precision of the irradiation — achiev- able clinically, but which hasn't been achiev- able in mouse models up to now — yields results that are more reliably translatable to humans, Zanzonico said, acknowledging Precision X-Ray is a leader in its field. Commenting on Precision X-Ray's growth potential in what is a niche market, McLaugh- lin said, "It's not huge, it's not clinical, it's not treating humans, so we have our boundaries, but there's still plenty of growth to go after, even in the research market." The company is examining uses for its equip- ment in the veterinary market, treating animals rather than just doing research on them, which would require equipment to be larger, he said. The company also may have opportuni- ties in the clinical market. "Some of these things that we're working on that potentially could impact the clinic could be extremely exciting, but exactly what strategy the company would take in approaching that, we haven't determined yet," he said. n Precision X-Ray ADVOCACY WRITING | CONTENT DEVELOPMENT | MEDIA RELATIONS CRISIS COMMUNICATIONS | PROJECT MANAGEMENT info@express-strategies.com 860.729.3021 www.express-strategies.com by the numbers www.ctbythenumbers.info @CTnumbers Subscribe Today!
