Key Procedures & Technology
Description
TrueBeam ®Linear Accelerator with Rapid Arch Technology:
Innovative, Intuitive and Intelligent
- Most advanced SBRT technology
- CT+LA combination for imaging and radiotherapy at the same time
- Helps to get most precise positioning of cancer
- International treatment plans
- Reduced number of radiation cycle and actual treatment time on machine by patients
- Includes Prone Breast Radiation Therapy with minimal effects for lungs and heart
D CRT: 3 Dimensional Conformal Radiation Therapy:
- It is a treatment planning system that helps to give a 30 shape of the tumor
- Delivers precise and optimal dose to the tumors and thus prevents damage to nearby tissues/ organs
IGRT: Image Guided Radiation Therapy:
- This technology involves precise focusing of the radiation spot
- Helps dynamic targeting of the tumors as they can move during or between treatments tissues much
MRT: Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy
- It is an advanced form of 3D CRT, with radiation beam divided in small beamlets
- Benefit of this is that the intensity of radiation beamlets can be moderated so that the dose is precise and does not affect the normal tissues much
Brachytherapy
- Low Dose Rate (LOR) seed brachytherapy & High Dose Rate (HOR) brachytherapy
- Computerized 30 radiation beam planning for brachytherapy
- Minimal side effects, low dosage
- It is an advanced form of 30 CRT, with radiation beam divided into small beamlets
- Benefit of these beamlets is that the intensity of radiation beamlets can be moderated so that the dose is precise and does not affect the normal
