Discover Innovations in ZAP-X Radiosurgery During Live Webinar
A live webinar on February 19, 2026, will showcase advancements in radiosurgery technology, featuring the European Radiosurgery Center Munich, a leading facility known for its high-volume use of the ZAP-X system. Scheduled for 16:00 GMT (08:00 PST), the session aims to provide attendees with insights into the center’s innovative vault-free treatment suite and its clinical workflow.
The webinar will delve into the ZAP-X delivery system, highlighting its unique features compared to traditional stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) platforms. Participants can expect to learn about the system’s performance through detailed case studies, illustrating its application in complex clinical scenarios. In addition, the session will introduce the newly launched ZAP-Axon planning system, emphasizing its role in enhancing radiosurgery precision.
The ZAP-X system is distinguished by its cobalt-free and vault-free design, specifically engineered for brain treatments. It offers non-invasive treatments with remarkably low doses to both the whole brain and the body. The system employs a gyroscopic beam delivery mechanism, refined beam geometry, and a fully integrated workflow, which collectively facilitate state-of-the-art SRS while eliminating the need for traditional radiation bunkers.
Moderating the discussion will be Theresa Hofman, the deputy head of medical physics at the European Radiosurgery Center Munich. With extensive experience in stereotactic radiosurgery, she has been an integral part of the center since 2018 and was involved in implementing the ZAP-X technology upon its introduction in 2021. To date, the center has successfully treated over 900 patients using this advanced system.
Hofman holds a master’s degree in physics from Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich, where she contributed to the field through first-author publications on range verification in carbon-ion therapy. At ERCM, she has also authored studies on the accuracy of kidney treatments using the CyberKnife system and comparative planning efforts between ZAP-X and CyberKnife, further establishing her expertise in the field.
Her ongoing research focuses on evaluating the latest planning software for ZAP-X, driven by a commitment to advancing the quality of radiosurgery. Hofman’s work aims to ensure optimal treatment outcomes for each patient, reflecting the center’s dedication to cutting-edge medical technology.
