It has external and brachytherapy (intra-tumor or relevant organ) treatment options. 5 devices in total are used for external treatments. Four of them are latest technology Linear Accelerators, and they can produce 6 MV and 18 MV X-rays, and 6 different levels of electron beams. Thus, deep and superficial tumors can be treated. Two of these devices, Cyberknife® and Novalis®, can carry out focal irradiation that is named stereotactic radiotherapy or radiosurgery.
In brachytherapy we have a high dose speed device that enables outpatient treatment. With this device, high treatment dose can be applied safely through close-range radiation for gynecologic tumors and lung tumors being in the first place, and many other types of tumors.
Furthermore, there are 2 simulators (Conventional simulator and CT simulator) and one C-armed X-ray device in the division which is used for determining treatment regions.
There are 3 computerized treatment planning devices that have the function of performing sophisticated, three dimensional planning and IMRT (Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy) and enable us to plan the treatments in a healthy and detailed manner. On the other hand, Accuray Cyberknife® and Novalis® devices have their own peculiar planning systems, and they are sufficiently equipped to perform any kind of modern planning, including respiration and tumor monitoring. The comprehensive technical substructure and a network system which is necessary for high-quality treatment goes through with the equipment of our division.
