High-Precision Treatment Technology
菲律宾博彩集团排名的癌症治疗中心为癌症患者就近提供高精度放疗技术.
Linear Accelerator
菲律宾博彩集团排名的高精度放疗系统是MRMC放射肿瘤科的基础部分. The precision and speed enhance treatment effectiveness and deliver fast, accurate image-guided treatments within just a few minutes per day. 这项技术使临床医生能够在每次治疗之前立即“看到”肿瘤，从而更准确地提供治疗, 然后在保护附近的健康组织和重要器官的同时，精确地瞄准这些肿瘤.
肿瘤有时生长在病人呼吸时移动的身体部位. 每当有肿瘤运动时，确保提高精度是非常重要的, for example during lung and certain breast cancer treatments. Meadowview’s linear accelerator uses 4D imaging, 这样菲律宾博彩集团排名的临床团队就可以在病人实时呼吸的同时看到病人肿瘤的全方位运动. 治疗可以设计为更准确地补偿呼吸运动.
这种线性加速器为每位患者提供准确、精确和个性化的强大癌症治疗. The technology also allows for faster delivery of radiation, reducing dosage and exposure dramatically. A quicker treatment time means increased comfort for patients.
This treatment system can deliver many forms of radiotherapy, including:
- 图像引导放射治疗(IGRT)门静脉成像，为治疗验证提供即时数字图像
- 调强放射治疗(IMRT)直接向癌细胞提供更高的辐射剂量，同时最大限度地减少心脏和肺组织的辐射暴露
- 体积调制弧线疗法(VMAT)在治疗机旋转的过程中持续提供辐射剂量，最大限度地减少对肿瘤周围器官的剂量.
- 立体定向全身放射治疗(SBRT)为肺部肿瘤提供了高度精确的治疗, liver, and other sites
