Treatment & Procedures
Image-guided Radiation Treatment…
Radiation Therapy is one of the treatments used for various types of cancer. It uses high-powered radiation energy (X-rays, protons, or other sources) to kill cancer cells. Image-Guided Radiation Treatment is a type of External Beam Radiation Therapy. This is an advanced form of Radiation Therapy that uses images to guide the treatment, providing effective…
Volumetric Modulated ARC (VMAT)
The number of cancer cases is growing rapidly, but the advancement in its treatment is making the lives of cancer patients better and increasing their survival. Volumetric Modulated Arc Therapy (VMAT) is a cutting-edge and advanced Radiotherapy technique that offers precise and effective treatment for cancer patients. This sophisticated treatment approach…
Intensity-modulated Radiotherapy…
The application of IMRT involves shaping radiation beams to accurately target cancerous areas while minimising exposure to surrounding healthy tissue. IMRT, also known as Intensity-Modulated Radiotherapy, is a form of advanced radiation treatment used for both cancerous and non-cancerous tumours. This technique utilises linear accelerators to precisely…
3D Conformal Radiotherapy (3D…
3D Conformal Radiotherapy is an advanced form of Radiation Therapy that minimises radiation exposure to nearby healthy tissues while accurately targeting tumours. The first step in the procedure is thorough imaging, which involves creating three-dimensional images of the tumour and the surrounding anatomy using high-resolution scans like CT or MRI.…
Radiation Treatment Process Instruction
Radiation Therapy is a crucial component in the treatment of different types of cancer within the Oncology Department. It can be used on its own or in conjunction with other cancer treatments to enhance their effectiveness. To destroy or completely eradicate cancer cells, Radiation Therapy uses high-energy waves. These waves alter the DNA of cancer…
