We have the latest equipment for External Radiation Therapy. The Flexitron HDR (High Dose Rate) Brachytherapy system by Elekta is a sophisticated solution designed for precision and efficiency in brachytherapy treatments. Brachytherapy involves placing radioactive sources close to or within the tumor, delivering high doses of radiation while minimizing exposure to surrounding healthy tissue. Here are the key features of the Flexitron HDR 10 Brachytherapy system:
Brachytherapy: Key Features
