The Department of Radiation Oncology at Selçuk University Faculty of Medicine Hospital is providing patients with more precise and personalized radiotherapy options through its upgraded technological infrastructure. With the addition of two Varian TrueBeam systems and a new SOMATOM go.Sim radiotherapy planning CT scanner, the center has strengthened the imaging, treatment planning, and radiation delivery stages of cancer care.
As part of the investment at the Department of Radiation Oncology, the radiotherapy infrastructure used in cancer treatment has been renewed. The center has been equipped with two Varian TrueBeam linear accelerators and a Siemens Healthineers SOMATOM go.Sim radiotherapy planning CT scanner. With the new systems, detailed images are obtained before treatment to identify the location of the tumor and the surrounding healthy tissues, allowing a treatment plan to be developed specifically for each patient. The aim is to deliver radiation to the tumor as accurately as possible while protecting the surrounding healthy tissues. During treatment, the patient’s position and, when necessary, respiratory movements can also be monitored.
Selçuk University Rector Prof. Dr. Hüseyin Yılmaz emphasized that radiotherapy requires not only advanced technology but also an experienced team and a strong treatment-planning process.
“With our renewed infrastructure, we manage our patients’ treatment process through a comprehensive approach, from planning to implementation. Our physicians, medical physicists, healthcare professionals, and technical staff work together to make the most effective use of these technological capabilities according to our patients’ needs. As Selçuk University, we will continue to provide high-quality healthcare services to Konya and the surrounding region by continually advancing our scientific expertise and technological capabilities in the field of healthcare.”
