We are equipped with two high-end Linear Accelerators, Elekta Infinity and Elekta Synergy. they are advanced linear accelerators (LINACs) designed for precision radiation therapy in cancer treatment. Each system has unique features that enhance treatment accuracy, efficiency, and patient safety.

Elekta Infinity

1. Agility Multileaf Collimator (MLC):
   • High-definition 160-leaf MLC for precise beam shaping.
   • Rapid leaf speed for efficient treatment delivery.
2. Volumetric Modulated Arc Therapy (VMAT):
   • Continuous dose delivery as the gantry rotates around the patient.
   • Reduces treatment time while improving dose conformity.
3. 4D Image Guidance:
   • Advanced imaging for real-time tumor tracking and adaptation to patient movement.
   • Reduces the margin of error, improving treatment precision.
4. Integrated Imaging:
   • On-board imaging systems, including cone-beam CT, for accurate patient positioning.
   • Daily imaging capabilities for verification and adaptation.
5. Motion Management:
   • Techniques such as gating and tracking to account for respiratory and other patient movements.
   • Ensures precise targeting of the tumor while sparing healthy tissue.
6. Intuitive User Interface:
   • User-friendly software for efficient treatment planning and delivery.
   • Simplifies complex treatment workflows.
7. Patient Comfort:
   • Ergonomic design to enhance patient comfort and reduce anxiety during treatment.
   • Rapid treatment delivery minimizes time on the table.

Elekta Synergy

1. Integrated Imaging:
   • On-board imaging with kilovoltage (kV) and megavoltage (MV) capabilities.
   • Enables accurate tumor localization and patient positioning.
2. Image-Guided Radiation Therapy (IGRT):
   • Combines imaging and treatment in one system for real-time verification.
   • Improves targeting accuracy, particularly for tumors in motion.
3. Cone-Beam CT (CBCT):
   • Provides three-dimensional imaging for precise treatment planning.
   • Daily imaging for adaptive treatment adjustments.
4. Multileaf Collimator (MLC):
   • High-precision beam shaping to conform to the tumor’s shape.
   • Reduces radiation exposure to surrounding healthy tissues.
5. Advanced Treatment Techniques:
   • Supports Intensity-Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT) for complex tumor shapes.
   • Offers VMAT for faster, more efficient treatment delivery.
6. Robust Workflow Solutions:
   • Streamlined processes from imaging to treatment delivery.
   • Enhances clinical workflow efficiency and patient throughput.
7. Patient Safety and Comfort:
   • Comprehensive safety features to protect patients during treatment.
   • Comfortable treatment environment to reduce patient stress.
8. Customizable Treatment Options:
   • Flexibility to tailor treatments to individual patient needs.
   • Supports a wide range of treatment protocols and techniques.

Common Features

• Advanced Software Integration: Both systems utilize sophisticated software for treatment planning and management, ensuring seamless operation and integration with hospital information systems.
• High Precision and Accuracy: Both Elekta Infinity and Synergy are designed to deliver highly precise and accurate radiation doses, minimizing damage to healthy tissues.
