IMAGE GUIDED RADIATION THERAPY (IGRT)

 EBROC's new IGRT equipment - Elekta Synergy

   
  Synergy Multi-leaf collimator XVI Imager  

Synergy is the world’s first linear accelerator to feature integrated 3D-volume imaging. This allows imaging of the tumor site with CT-like quality to be acquired and reconstructed immediately before treatment, with the patient already set-up in the treatment position.

        Synergy provides:

  • Two X-ray energies of 6 and 15 MV

  • Four Electron energies: 6, 9, 12, 18 MeV
  • Multi-leaf collimator
  • Capable of Rotational Arc treatment capabilities for both photon and electron beams
  • Automated computer-controlled treatment
  • New technology introduced on Synergy:

  • Incorporates digital X-ray and CT Imaging on the Linear accelerator

    • Rotates 360 degrees around patient to produce a 3-D image
