Image Guided IMRT

Advances in magnetic resonance, computed tomography and PET-CT technology help to provide more accurate radiotherapy. Computed tomography, which helps us to understand the patient's three-dimensional cross-sectional anatomy, is the basis for determining the tissues to be irradiated and protected in the treatment planning system. Then, the intensity of the dose is controlled by the complex motions of the multi-leaf beam formers (MLC) located in the head of the radiotherapy device and a treatment plan is obtained which provides the most uniform dose distribution at the target that gives the minimum dose for normal tissues. After the treatment plan has passed the quality control test, image-guided IMRT or IG-IMRT is possible after the patient's position is confirmed by imaging systems (cone beam CT, kv-kv epid graphy) located again in the head of the treatment device.

Versa-HD-Hexapod

While the tumor is irradiated at the desired density with perfect accuracy, fast dose application is provided. The maximum protection is provided in the surrounding tissues. Thanks to the image-mediated radiotherapy feature, it can be used successfully in the treatment of all patients who require external beam radiotherapy.

Why I am working with advanced technology devices?

High Definition Multileaf Collimator (HD-MLC)

With this very thin leaf system with accurate motion capabilities that placed on the head of the device, the desired homogenous dose irradiation can be achieved in the tumor.

Cone beam CT (CBCT)

The tomography images obtained by this system located on the sides of the device head, could easily be overlapped with treatment planning tomography of the patients. This allows tretment accuracy rates at less than 1 mm.

HD-MLC system

It provides rapid dose reduction in normal tissues near the target, while ensuring proper dose distribution at the target.

FFF

Filter-free rays, which can only be used in suitable patients, allow the dose to be delivered 2-2.5 times faster (compared to filtered systems). This may contribute to reducing the overall body radiation dose by reducing the dose scattering from the device head. Also decrase the total time of treatment

Jaw tracking

A system that reduces the area edge doses by following the opening of the treatment and reducing inter-leaf scattering.

Quality control

Once the treatment plan has been accepted, it is the control of the applicability of the treatment by the device with pre-simulation before starting the treatment.

The treatment tables can be positioned more accurately thanks to the treatment tables which can perform the necessary corrections in the X, Y, Z planes. Rotational errors could also be corrected with accuracy
