Two Linear accelerator
Two Linear Accelerator Treatment in Yeshwanthpur, Bangalore
A linear accelerator, also known as a LINAC, is a type of high-precision radiation source that is used to target cancer tumours while avoiding damage to nearby healthy tissue. Doctors may treat a variety of cancers using it, including ones that affect the breast, lungs, brain, spine, and head.
To treat cancerous tumours inside the body, linear accelerators release focused radiation, such as electron beams or X-rays. These advanced machines utilise 3D imaging, resembling a high-tech CT scan, to identify the location of tumours precisely. Before the actual treatment, a simulation takes place. This is akin to capturing a detailed image of your internal structures while you are in the treatment position. Occasionally, an MRI or PET scan might be included for more comprehensive information. To optimise accuracy, small markers or tattoos may be utilised as reference points, aiding the LINAC in precisely locating the tumours. During the treatment session, you may be provided with a positioning device, such as a body mould, face mask, or head frame, to ensure your body remains immobile for precise targeting - akin to wearing specialised gear for optimal alignment. While the radiation therapist initiates the treatment from a control room, continuous monitoring is maintained. Communication channels remain open, allowing you to convey any discomfort or concerns.
