These are the latest radiotherapy machines in the state.

The treatment which costs lakhs of rupees will be available free of cost here. These machines will bring accuracy in tumor detection and radiotherapy and cancer patients will be able to get world-class treatment.
Rapid healing with focused radiation
Superintendent of State Cancer Institute, Dr. Sandeep Jasuja said that these linear accelerator machines of radiotherapy give much more focused radiation exposure, due to which the treatment time has reduced a lot and treatment has also become easier. The latest machines can do stereo taxi surgery, which can eliminate the tumor in one go. Along with this, the nearby cancer cells also get destroyed. In this, the entire radiation procedure is over in 2 minutes. Like before, patients undergoing radiotherapy will not have blackening of the skin and other side effects due to this machine. Its biggest advantage will be that there will be no damage to the nearby organs at the time of radiation exposure.
Virtual planning will be done in the machine before treating the patient
By scanning the patient with the new CT simulator machine, the treatment can be planned virtually in the software itself. This will make the treatment more accurate and the complications arising during treatment can be managed better. All these machines will start providing services from Friday. Such technology is available at only a few centers in the entire country.
