Radiation oncology

• Precise radiation therapy treatment for all cancer types using a state-of-the-art Varian TrueBeam linear accelerator
• Deep Inspiration Breath Hold (DIBH) – A technique for breast cancer patients that reduces the potential impact of radiation on the heart
• Image Guided Radiation Therapy (IGRT) – A technique that utilises advanced imaging equipment and computer software (including MRI, CT and x-ray) to precisely target a tumour with radiation beams
• Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT) – A technique that delivers high dose radiation therapy to cancerous tumours, while limiting the impact of radiation on healthy surrounding tissue
• Stereotactic Radiation Therapy – An advanced technique that delivers pinpoint precise radiation therapy to treat small tumours with well-defined edges, including tumours that have spread from a primary cancer
• Superficial Radiation Therapy using the WOmed T-105 system – A non-invasive, superficial radiation therapy treatment for early non-melanoma skin cancer
• Surface Guided Radiation Therapy (SGRT) using Varian’s IDENTIFY system – An advanced technology that delivers highly-accurate radiation therapy without the need to have permanent tattoo marks
• Volumetric Modulated Radiation Therapy (VMAT) – A technique that delivers radiation therapy beams in a series of arcs or angles by a rotating machine to allow for greater access to a cancerous tumour
