Convergent RnR company profile

Convergent R.N.R is a medical start-up company that develops a new x-ray focusing technology. CRnR develops a patented breakthrough technology utilizing a standard imaging X-ray source to form a converging beam into a volume of treatment rather than the standard diverging one. This development renders the radiotherapy treatment more accurate and safe, thus sparing healthy organs and cells. The “Mercy Beam” introduces a sophisticated lens that collects most of the X-rays emanating divergently out of any standard X-ray tube, and converges it towards a tumor location. The lens simultaneously removes low-energy photons that would be absorbed by the patient’s skin. The convergence increases the therapeutic dose delivered at the tumor location, while the organs in the vicinity of the tumor receive a very low dose or no dose at all. The converging technology enables the use of photon-energy X-rays 100 times lower than those used by current systems which are based on Linear Accelerators (LINACs).
