Key Features of Dual Energy 6 and 10 MV Medical Linear Accelerator
Dual Energy Capability:
1. 6 MV and 10 MV Photon Beams: Provides two energy levels, allowing for greater flexibility and precision in targeting tumors of different sizes and depths. The dual energy feature enhances the ability to treat complex cases by adjusting the energy based on the location and type of cancer.
2. High Precision and Accuracy:
• Advanced Imaging Systems: Equipped with integrated imaging technologies, such as cone beam CT (CBCT) and onboard imaging (OBI), which provide real-time visualization of the treatment area. This ensures accurate patient positioning and precise delivery of radiation.
• Multi-Leaf Collimator (MLC): Features a high-resolution MLC system that shapes the radiation beam to conform to the tumor's shape, sparing adjacent healthy tissue and critical structures.
3. Versatile Treatment Options:
• Intensity-Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT): Enables the modulation of radiation intensity within the treatment field, allowing for highly targeted dose distribution.
• Volumetric Modulated Arc Therapy (VMAT): Delivers radiation in a continuous rotation around the patient, reducing treatment time and improving dose conformity.
• Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy (SBRT): Provides high-dose radiation treatments in fewer sessions, suitable for treating small, well-defined tumors.
4. User-Friendly Interface:
• Intuitive Control System: The accelerator is equipped with a user-friendly interface that simplifies treatment planning and delivery. The system is designed for easy operation, reducing the learning curve for clinicians.
• Automated Workflow: Incorporates automated processes to streamline treatment delivery, enhancing efficiency and reducing the potential for human error.
5. Patient Safety and Comfort:
• Real-Time Monitoring: Continuous monitoring of the patient and treatment parameters ensures safety and allows for immediate adjustments if needed.
• Comfort Features: Designed with patient comfort in mind, the system includes features such as a comfortable treatment couch and efficient treatment delivery to minimize the time patients spend in the treatment position.
6. Advanced Dose Calculation and Delivery:
• Accurate Dosimetry: Utilizes advanced algorithms for precise dose calculation, ensuring optimal treatment effectiveness.
• Adaptive Radiation Therapy (ART): Allows for adjustments in the treatment plan based on changes in the patient's anatomy over the course of treatment, enhancing the ability to adapt to tumor shrinkage or patient weight changes.
Applications of Dual Energy 6 and 10 MV Medical Linear Accelerator
1. Head and Neck Cancers:• Precisely targets complex structures in the head and neck area, sparing critical organs such as the salivary glands and spinal cord.
2. Breast Cancer:
• Delivers targeted radiation to the breast tissue, minimizing exposure to the heart and lungs, particularly useful in treating left-sided breast cancer.
3. Prostate Cancer:
• Provides highly conformal radiation doses to the prostate while minimizing exposure to surrounding tissues such as the bladder and rectum.
4. Lung Cancer:
• Effectively treats tumors in the lung with precision, reducing the risk of damaging healthy lung tissue and other critical structures.
5. Gastrointestinal Cancers:
• Targets tumors in the gastrointestinal tract with accuracy, crucial for treating cancers in organs such as the pancreas, liver, and rectum.
6. Gynecological Cancers:
• Treats cancers of the cervix, uterus, and ovaries with precise radiation delivery, sparing nearby organs such as the bladder and intestines.
7. Central Nervous System (CNS) Tumors:
• Delivers targeted radiation to brain and spinal tumors, minimizing exposure to healthy brain tissue and critical neurological structures.
