WHAT IS MR LINAC?
MR Linac is a high technology device which combines the magnetic resonance imaging device (MR) and a linear accelerator in one device.
MR Linac technology enables real-time visualization of the tumor during radiotherapy and by helping the radiation be positioned on the tumor directly, it allows you to monitor the tumor.
Special Features
High Dose
Radiation can be given to the tumor area in high accuracy. As the device has the feature of an MR, while the radiation is given, the tumor can be visualized clearly. In this way the surrounding organs can be protected very well.
It helps shorten the treatment time 1 to 5 days compared to the conventional radiotherapy.
MR Linac sets a new standard for personalized radiotherapy. It helps you plan treatments for each patient separately based on their treatment
Treatment
It allows you to do adaptive planning and reshape the dose depending on the shape, size and position of the tumor and the daily changes of the surrounding healthy anatomy. It enables adaptive radiotherapy for the patient.
Why MR LINAC?
MR Linac is a high technology device which combines the magnetic resonance imaging device (MR) and a linear accelerator (Linac).
Radiotherapy (radiation therapy) is an important part in cancer treatment. Our aim is to give radiation to tumor tissue and take the tumor under control or destroy it completely. Our main aim is to help each patient receive the best radiotherapy possible. Designed in collaboration with industry-leading experts and world-renowned cancer research institutions, Elekta Unity and MR-Linac technology, which is considered a breakthrough, are positioned at the forefront of patient-centric cancer care.
The hardest part in radiotherapy was to treat the target accurately depending on the movement of the tumor and to protect the surrounding organs. MR Linac is designed to overcome this problem; it focuses on the tumor directly.
Our Team
