Maximum Benefits for More Certain Delivery
It’s an ongoing dilemma for radiotherapy professionals: How can you apply maximum, tolerable radiation doses to a tumor that is near a critical structure, without drastically affecting your patient’s quality of life? Precision IMRT is generally seen as the answer. Industry-wide, no one integrates leading-edge delivery technology with automated control and management systems as Siemens does.
Siemens enables you to optimize the sequential delivery of discrete field segments with an ease normally associated with standard radiation therapies. Now you can wrap and sculpt dose distributions that conform tightly to the 3-D shape of your target. Because of the minimal effect such treatments have on surrounding structures, they are able to treat high dose IMRT boosts or deliver re-treatments to areas that have already been treated and previously would have been incapable of tolerating further irradiation.
