Gangneung Asan Hospital News: Introduction of ‘TrueBeam 4.1’, a State-of-the-Art High-Precision Radiation Cancer Therapy System!
Gangneung Asan Hospital recently introduced the state-of-the-art high-precision radiation cancer therapy system, ‘TrueBeam 4.1’, and has officially commenced treatments.
TrueBeam is a linear accelerator from the global medical device company Varian, designed to treat cancer by precisely delivering high doses of radiation to cancer cells. Notably, the newly introduced ‘TrueBeam 4.1’ features the latest digital control systems and software, significantly enhancing the precision, efficiency, and stability of the treatment.
Furthermore, the hospital has established a ‘Markerless Real-time Surface Guided Radiation Therapy (SGRT)’ system that tracks the patient’s skin surface with 3D cameras. This allows for the detection of even minute movements, enabling accurate radiation delivery to the target area without the need for physical skin markings. This advancement reduces lifestyle restrictions for patients while further strengthening treatment convenience and safety.
With the introduction of this equipment, Gangneung Asan Hospital has elevated its precise and safe cancer treatment environment to the next level. The hospital remains committed to ensuring that local patients can receive high-quality radiation therapy without the need to travel to the metropolitan area.
Frequently Asked Questions
What kind of equipment is TrueBeam 4.1?
TrueBeam 4.1 is a state-of-the-art linear accelerator that precisely irradiates cancer cells with high doses of radiation. It is equipment from the global medical device company Varian, and its precision, efficiency, and stability of treatment have been greatly improved by applying the latest digital control systems and software.
What is markerless real-time surface-guided radiation therapy (SGRT)?
Markerless real-time surface-guided radiation therapy (SGRT) is a system that tracks the patient's skin surface in real time with a 3D camera. It is a technology that detects even the patient's subtle movements, allowing radiation to be precisely delivered to the correct location without leaving marks on the body, greatly enhancing patient comfort during treatment.
What are the advantages for patients with the introduction of TrueBeam 4.1?
The biggest advantage is that precise and safe treatment is possible without markers. Not drawing markers on the body reduces restrictions in daily life, and the latest control system detects the patient's subtle movements, allowing radiation to be precisely delivered only to cancer cells.
Can I receive TrueBeam 4.1 treatment at Gangneung Asan Hospital?
Yes, you can. Gangneung Asan Hospital recently introduced TrueBeam 4.1 equipment and has begun full-scale treatment. This allows local patients to receive high-precision radiation cancer treatment directly in Gangneung without the inconvenience of traveling to the metropolitan area.
