RAPIDARC Coming to KUIMS
We are very happy to announce that KUIMS will open a RapidArc Radiotherapy Center in the summer of 2010. RapidArc radiotherapy technology by Varian Medical Systems offers all the benefits of IMRT in dramatically shorter treatment times.
RapidArc uses a dynamic multileaf collimator (MLC), variable dose rate, and variable gantry speed to generate IMRT-quality dose distributions in a single optimized arc around the patient. Clinicians can now deliver continuously modulated dose to the entire tumor volume while sparing normal, healthy tissue.
RapidArc represents a major advance in radiation therapy.
The introduction of this medical technology will help push KUIMS to the forefront of cancer treatment in Korea and the world.
We will keep you updated with related news
