Dynamic Couch Rotation Advancing In Radiation Technology
A
new advancement in radiotherapytechnology has provided patients with brain cancer a new alternative for treatment
that could increase the accuracy and the speed of treatment. This style of
treatment will rotate the patient in sync with the radiation beam with a technique called Dynamic
Couch Rotation. Current treatment has been done using Volumetric Modulated Arc
Therapy (VMAT). This new technique has
proven to be just as accurate but can also improve delivery times which in turn
will reduce exposure to healthy/sensitive brain tissues
nearby and decrease side effects overall. You can read the article “New radiotherapy system that moves patients in syncwith x-ray beam can deliver accurate treatment for brain cancer” to
grasp a better understanding of this new treatment.
