IntraOp's Mobetron is a mobile, self-shielded, device that delivers radiation directly to the tumor site during cancer surgery protecting surrounding body structures from radiation. This procedure is called IORT. The Mobetron uses electron radiation, IOERT, which is the fastest, safest, most versatile, and precise way to deliver radiation therapy. The Mobetron delivers concentrated electron radiation directly to the exposed tumor bed to an exact depth during cancer surgery.
