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.
