KernelMed has announced the official launch of its independently developed X-ray Radiotherapy System, marking a significant advancement for domestically engineered superficial radiotherapy equipment. Designed to address clinical needs in dermatology and oncology, the system focuses on delivering stable dose output, reliable safety performance, and streamlined clinical workflows.

Engineered for Superficial Lesion Treatment

The system uses high-energy electron acceleration within a vacuum chamber to generate soft X-rays optimized for superficial therapeutic applications. This allows clinicians to treat epidermal and dermal lesions such as basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma in situ, keloids, and selected benign skin conditions that require targeted low-penetration radiation.

An upgraded X-ray control architecture provides consistent output and dose accuracy. The system’s built-in RAD verification function offers real-time monitoring to ensure that radiation delivery remains within the prescribed treatment parameters.

Clinical Workflow and User-Centered Design

KernelMed placed emphasis on reducing complexity for clinical operators. The system includes:

• Automatic applicator recognition to speed up treatment preparation

• Modular hardware design supporting efficient servicing

• Multiple applicator sizes suited for varying lesion dimensions

• A high-transparency observation window enabling clear visualization during treatment setup

These features aim to strengthen reproducibility, reduce operator workload, and enhance day-to-day efficiency in clinical practice.

Precision Positioning Through KNavi? Robotic Arm Technology

The device incorporates a six-axis precision robotic arm featuring KernelMed’s KNavi? platform. This technology enables controlled, smooth movement and adapts to different patient postures, helping ensure accurate alignment between the radiation field and the treatment target.

The robotic arm design reduces the likelihood of positioning deviation, supporting consistent treatment quality across sessions and operators.

Reliable Performance Backed by Advanced Cooling

System stability is reinforced by KernelMed’s proprietary K_Cooling System?, a high-efficiency temperature management solution engineered to maintain consistent operating conditions. This ensures dependable system performance during prolonged or repeated use throughout the clinical day.

Flexible, Targeted Dose Delivery

With adjustable dose parameters and interchangeable applicators, clinicians can customize treatment fields to meet individual patient needs. The design focuses on confining radiation to the intended target while minimizing exposure to surrounding healthy tissue—an essential principle in modern superficial radiation therapy.

Aesthetic and Functional Design Approach

The X-ray Radiotherapy System features a clean, minimalistic exterior inspired by contemporary and East-Asian design principles. The restrained structural language reflects KernelMed’s aim to unify technology, usability, and an optimized clinical environment.
