Innovative equipment at K+31
Since 2021, an innovative Varian Halcyon 2.0 linear accelerator has been installed and started working at the K+31 West clinic.
Intensity modulated irradiation technology (IMRT and VMAT) is used to treat patients with maximum efficiency and minimize the dose burden on organs at risk and normal tissues adjacent to the tumor.
Thanks to the design of the device, which has an architecture unique for linear accelerators with an innovative circular gantry design, it became possible to treat patients 3-4 times faster, providing even more safety during the treatment session, as well as avoiding the problem of queues for treatment.
Reduced noise levels, a low, smoothly moving treatment table and soft built-in lighting enhance the positive impact on the patient.
We thank D.V. Kurenkov, oncologist, radiotherapist K+31 Zapad, for the up-to-date information.
