The Role of SpaceOar in Radiation Therapy for Prostate Cancer Treatment | 2018 4K Animation

Ghost Medical Animation + VR Surgery
February 16, 2018
The animation by Ghost Medical highlights the innovative SpaceOar device and its crucial role in protecting the colon during radiation therapy for prostate cancer.

Context

The animation by Ghost Medical highlights the innovative SpaceOar device and its crucial role in protecting the colon during radiation therapy for prostate cancer. It begins by introducing the anatomy of the prostate and surrounding organs, emphasizing their close proximity. The animation then showcases the SpaceOar device, a hydrogel spacer, being precisely injected between the prostate and the rectum.

As the hydrogel expands, it creates a significant barrier, effectively pushing the rectum away from the high-dose radiation zone. This separation is vividly illustrated, demonstrating how the device reduces radiation exposure to the rectum. Through detailed visuals and explanations, the animation conveys the safety and efficacy of the SpaceOar device, underscoring its importance in enhancing patient outcomes and quality of life during and after prostate cancer treatment.
