On May 12, 2023, Business Alignment PCL, the exclusive distributor of Varian in Thailand, hosted the official handover ceremony for a new linear accelerator project to Lopburi Cancer Hospital. The ceremony was attended by radiologists, medical physicists, and hospital staff.
The TrueBeam® radiotherapy system, which includes the linear accelerator and other accessories, has been installed. This high-precision system is capable of integrating hardware, software, treatment regimens, safety features, new innovations, and support in a unique manner.
Stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) is often recommended as a primary treatment option for Brain metastases patients. However, concerns about complexity, patient safety, cost, and human resources often make SRS inaccessible for many patients and unviable for many institutions. What is the Stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS)?
This is one of the radiation techniques that delivers a high dose to tumors in just 1-5 fractions. It can be divided into two types based on the areas being treated.
1. Stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) involves delivering a high dose of radiation to tumors within the brain or spinal cord area in just 1-5 fractions.
2. Stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) involves delivering a high dose of radiation to tumors in other parts of the body, typically in just 1-5 fractions.
HyperArc™ addresses these challenges by introducing key technologies and workflow elements that are designed to revolutionize the clinical landscape, enabling more clinics to deliver Stereotactic Radiosurgery (SRS).
How would the HyperArc™ enhance treatment effectiveness and improve the quality of life for patients?
A prescriptive workflow is a crucial element of HyperArc™. This workflow incorporates specified immobilization for imaging and treatment delivery, patient setup, automated one-click treatment delivery, intra-fraction imaging, and a predetermined delivery sequence. With HyperArc, SRS may become a standard offering in your clinic. HyperArc is designed to deliver high-quality SRS treatments on the TrueBeam platform with a focus on safety, efficiency, and accuracy. Varian’s goal is to reduce the total treatment time for the majority of treatments to less than 20 minutes. HyperArc has the potential to greatly simplify the delivery of advanced SRS and enable more facilities to offer radiosurgical procedures
Furthermore, the hospital has also installed an image-guided system (Image Guided Radiation Therapy; IGRT). This system helps verify the accuracy of the desired treatment area, ensuring that patients receive more efficient and safer treatment.
