Ghaziabad : Yashoda Medicity, the upcoming healthcare facility by Yashoda Foundations in Indirapuram is bringing cutting-edge technology to its Radiation Oncology department thus positioning itself as a leader in advanced cancer treatment and care. The introduction of three world-class advanced technologies makes Yashoda Medicity the only hospital in the Southeast Asia region equipped with such revolutionizing equipment.
The technologies introduced are:
Varian EDGE with HyperArc for precise and targeted radiation therapy. This cutting-edge system combines high-definition imaging with advanced radiation delivery. This technology ensures that patients receive optimal doses of radiation, achieving treatment effectiveness and reducing side effects.
The HyperArc technology has demonstrated significant improvements in both tumor dose coverage and a marked reduction in the dose to organs at risk. This is achieved through its ability to manage complex non-coplanar treatments with improved precision. One of the key challenges in such treatments is determining safe locations for acquiring imaging without compromising patient safety. HyperArc addresses this challenge by pre-populating a set of known safe Imaging WayPoints throughout the delivery sequence, ensuring a seamless and secure imaging process.
To further streamline the treatment process, HyperArc introduces a set of advanced visualization tools that allow clinicians to view and plan the treatment delivery sequence during the planning phase itself. This preemptive approach eliminates the need for physical dry runs on the treatment delivery system, significantly reducing valuable resources and mitigating collision risks.
HyperArc offers a comprehensive end-to-end solution for intracranial target treatments. It features predefined immobilization protocols, prescribed intrafraction imaging, and precise patient setup, all derived from a superset of treatment trajectories. This holistic approach not only enhances treatment accuracy but also ensures a safer and more efficient delivery process.
ETHOS with Hypersight & Identity in revolutionizing radiation therapy planning with precision. By integrating real-time imaging with adaptive treatment planning, ETHOS ensures that radiation delivery is precisely aligned with the tumour’s position and shape throughout the treatment course. It improves the accuracy of radiation delivery and allows for adjustments in response to changes in tumour or patient anatomy, leading to more effective and personalized treatments.
ETHOS HyperSight revolutionizes radiotherapy with flexibility and precision. It supports a broad range of treatment techniques—including adaptive therapy, IGRT, IMRT, VMAT, and SBRT—while leveraging diagnostic MR, PET, and CT images throughout the planning and treatment phases. This integration improves clinical and operational efficiencies through advanced features like ARIA Coexistence†, AI-driven planning, and AI segmentation. Seamless communication with ARIA ensures smooth clinical data capture, real-time treatment progress updates, and streamlined administrative support. HyperSight imaging empowers clinicians with high-confidence visualization of patient anatomy, allowing for responsive adaptation to anatomical changes, precise planning, and efficient treatment delivery. With HyperSight adaptation, accurate dose calculation for online adaptive radiotherapy is achieved, driving innovation in radiotherapy workflows. Additionally, direct dose calculation from HyperSight CBCT images and unified reporting and management of IGRT treatments with other Varian linacs further enhance treatment accuracy and operational integration.
30-channel Bravos Brachytherapy system for internal radiation therapy. This advanced medical technology delivers internal radiation therapy directly to a tumour. Unlike external beam radiation therapy, which directs radiation from outside the body, brachytherapy involves placing a radiation source directly inside or very close to the tumour. This allows for a high dose of radiation to be delivered to the cancerous tissue while minimizing exposure to surrounding healthy tissues. This system integrates seamlessly with imaging and treatment planning software, providing real-time feedback and adjustments during procedures. The Bravos system’s user-friendly interface and automated workflows enhance clinician efficiency and treatment consistency. At the same time, its advanced safety features, including precise dose verification and patient-specific plan adjustments, support superior treatment outcomes and enhanced patient care.
Elekta Unity MR Linac represents a transformative leap in radiotherapy, integrating a 1.5T MR-Linac system that combines continuous, anatomy-specific MR imaging with comprehensive motion management for precision. This uncompromised system design delivers clear visualization of targets and organs at risk, enabling real-time personalization of radiation therapy and broadening treatment options for all types of cancers, including those traditionally considered hard to treat. Elekta Unity utilizes GPU-based Monte Carlo dose calculation to model dose distribution within a magnetic field, allowing for rapid replanning in minutes and facilitating swift, informed clinical decisions based on predictive insights. Its high-resolution treatment planning and delivery are enhanced by virtual leaf width technology, and continuous imaging in three orthogonal planes at five frames per second during irradiation, and gantry motion provides real-time monitoring of anatomical motion. This continuous imaging capability allows clinicians to gain visual confidence, reduce treatment margins, and expand treatment options. By adopting a SCAN-PLAN-TREAT approach, Elekta Unity redefines the conventional radiotherapy workflow, providing a platform for clinical excellence and ensuring that personalized radiotherapy is delivered with precision for every patient, every time.
The adoption of these groundbreaking technologies is the endeavor of the Yashoda Group to facilitate higher standards of excellence in medical and health infrastructure.
