Advanced Technology
At Mahavir Cancer Centre, we believe that advanced medical technology plays a vital role in the early detection, accurate diagnosis, and effective treatment of cancer. Our hospital is equipped with modern diagnostic and treatment systems that enable our specialists to provide precise and personalized care for every patient.
By combining cutting-edge imaging technology with advanced radiation therapy systems, our medical team can accurately detect cancer, plan treatment strategies, and monitor patient progress with greater efficiency and safety.
Radiation Therapy:
Hyper Arc Radiation Machine (Varian True-beam linear accelerator with hyper Arch Technology)
The Varian True-beam is a state-of-the-art medical linear accelerator used for advanced radiation therapy. It combines imaging, beam delivery, and motion. management to deliver precise and fast treatments like Stereotactic Radiosurgery (SRS) and Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy (SBRT)
Hyper arc technology is an automated, stereotactic technique that uses non-coplanar arcs of radiation to treat small tumours, primarily in the brain, with high precision. It improves dose conformity and can reduce exposure to surrounding healthy tissues compared to traditional methods by automatically optimizing the delivery through a series of arcs while also automatically avoiding collisions. This advanced method allows for faster and more accurate treatment, which can lead to better outcomes, and is used for conditions like brain metastasis and other intracranial or even some extracranial lesions.
Advantages
Improved precision
It delivers a high dose of radiation with high conformity, meaning the dose is tightly focused on the tumor and less radiation reaches healthy tissue.
Efficiency
It can be faster than other stereotactic techniques and enables the treatment of multiple lesions in a single session.
Reduced side effects
Minimizing radiation exposure to healthy tissues can lead to a reduction in side effects for patients.
PET Scan, Siemens, Germany:
Mahavir Cancer Centre is equipped with an advanced PET CT Scan system from Siemens, Germany, one of the world’s leading medical imaging technology providers. PET CT (Positron Emission Tomography–Computed Tomography) is a highly sophisticated imaging technique used for early detection, staging, and monitoring of cancer.
Key Advantages of PET CT Technology
- Early detection of cancer and tumors
- Accurate staging of cancer before treatment
- Identification of cancer spread (metastasis)
- Monitoring response to chemotherapy or radiation therapy
- Detection of recurrence after treatment
- Highly precise whole-body imaging
