How Exacure Works
Exacure manages the complete patient positioning workflow, from treatment planning data through to beam delivery and post-treatment verification, with robotic precision at every step.
01
Patient Planning
Treatment planning data is loaded into the Exacure control system. The planned patient position and beam angle are defined based on imaging data from CT or other imaging modalities integrated with the system.
02
Exacure Positions
The Exacure robot arm positions the patient with 6-axis precision to match the planned treatment position. The examove module handles robotic patient movement and the exacouch provides the slim anatomical patient support surface.
03
BNCT Beam Delivery
The exashield treatment module aligns with the neutron beam nozzle, controlled by exapoint. The patient is held in the treatment position with stationary robot accuracy throughout beam delivery. Exadock secures the couch coupling.
04
Real-time Couch Tracking
The exatrack module monitors patient and couch position in real time during treatment, detecting and compensating for any movement to maintain beam alignment throughout the session.
05
Post-Treatment Imaging
After treatment, the exaview module provides tumour position imaging for verification. The system logs all positioning data for clinical records. Gantry positioning is managed by the exaturn module where applicable.

Frequently Asked Questions
Here are some common questions about our company.
Boron Neutron Capture Therapy is a targeted cancer treatment. Boron compounds are pre-loaded into tumour cells and then activated by a neutron beam, releasing high-energy particles that destroy the cancer cells from within. The treatment requires precise patient positioning to align the tumour with the neutron beam, a task Exacure is specifically designed and certified for.
Yes. Exacure holds CE Mark approval under Medical Device Regulation, certified by Notified Body CE0483. It is the first patient positioning system to be certified for BNCT treatment, meeting the specific regulatory and technical requirements of this therapy type.
Exacure supports BNCT, conventional radiotherapy and particle therapy including proton and carbon ion. The modular system can be configured for different treatment room types, including installations with compact accelerator-based neutron sources and gantry-based systems.
Exatrack is the real-time couch tracking module. It continuously monitors the position of the patient and treatment couch during beam delivery, detecting any movement and compensating automatically to maintain precise alignment with the treatment beam.
Exacure integrates with Siemens CT systems for treatment planning and position verification. Integration with other imaging modalities used in particle therapy and BNCT environments is available depending on facility configuration. Contact BEC for a detailed compatibility assessment.
