Historically, cancer treatment rooms have been conceived of as "bunkers,” completely walled-in spaces to contain radiation-and absent windows that permit leakage.

Veritas Medical Solutions is changing that mentality with their SmartVue Natural Light Solution, a wall system with an integrated window that doesn't affect the integrity of surrounding radiation shielding.

The system marks the first time that patients undergoing radiation therapy can have a view of the outdoors-improving mood several fold by enabling interaction with the natural environment and thus improving the patient experience.

Veritas' SmartVue Natural Light Windows utilize the company's patented VeriShield technology: "a no-compromise design solution that will improve the experience of patients, oncologists, physicists, and administrators-everyone in the continuum of cancer care.”

Veritas' offers a variety of integrated radiation shielding window systems: multiple sizes and configurations as well as full- and partial-bay windows. For additional information, see Veritas Medical Solutions.
