Introduction to MR Linac at Fortis Hospital, Gurugram
Welcome to a new era of cancer treatment at Fortis Hospital, Gurugram, where cutting-edge technology meets compassionate care. We are thrilled to introduce the MR Linac, an innovation poised to redefine precision in radiation therapy. This groundbreaking system seamlessly integrates a 1.5T MR, ensuring an uncompromised design for unparalleled accuracy in visualising the tumor and organs at risk. Explore with us the transformative capabilities of MR Linac and its potential to revolutionize personalized cancer treatment through MRI guided radiation therapy (MRgRT).
Uncompromised System Design with 1.5T MR
At the heart of the MR Linac system lies a powerful 1.5T magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) unit. This exceptional design choice ensures unparalleled image quality, enabling our clinicians to visualize tumors and surrounding tissues with extraordinary clarity. The integration of a high-field MR allows for real-time visualization of tumor during radiation delivery, ensuring that treatment adjustments can be made instantly, based on the most up-to-date information.
Advantages of 1.5T MR Integration:
- High-Resolution Imaging: The 1.5T MR offers superior image resolution, providing detailed insights into the tumor and surrounding anatomy, facilitating precise treatment delivery. This level of clarity is especially crucial when dealing with tumors located near sensitive organs or structures.
- Real-Time Adaptation: With real-time imaging capabilities, our clinicians can monitor and adapt the treatment plan as needed, ensuring accuracy throughout the entire radiation therapy session.
- Reduced Uncertainty: The advanced imaging capabilities minimize uncertainties related to patient positioning and anatomical changes, enhancing treatment precision.
Key Features for Clear Visualisation:
- Multi-Parametric Imaging: The MR Linac incorporates multi-parametric imaging, including functional imaging techniques, providing comprehensive insights into tumor characteristics and response to treatment.
- Adaptive Planning: Adaptive planning based on real-time imaging ensures that the radiation beam accurately targets the tumor while sparing surrounding healthy tissues.
- Enhanced Safety: Accurate visualisation contributes to enhanced safety, minimizing the risk of damage to nearby critical structures and reducing potential side effects.
MR – LINAC – Twin advantages of improved tumor control and reduction in side effects. It leads to improved quality of life of patients.
New Possibilities for Personalised Treatment with Biology-guided Radiation Therapy (BgRT)
MR Linac opens up exciting avenues for personalised cancer treatment through Biology-guided Radiation Therapy (BgRT). This innovative approach leverages real-time imaging to adapt radiation therapy based on the individual biology and response of the tumor. BgRT represents a significant shift towards precision medicine, tailoring treatments to the unique characteristics of each patient's cancer.
Advantages of BgRT:
- Individualised Treatment Plans: BgRT allows for the creation of highly individualized treatment plans, considering the specific biological features of the tumor.
- Optimised Treatment Response: By adapting the treatment in real-time, BgRT maximizes the therapeutic effect on the tumor while minimising damage to healthy tissues.
- Potential for Improved Outcomes: Personalised treatment through BgRT holds the promise of improved treatment outcomes and reduced side effects, enhancing the overall patient experience.
