Radiotherapy specializes in the medical use of ionizing radiation for
the treatment of cancer and other medical conditions. The Department
of Radiotherapy at SVIMS has the most technologically advanced
clinical radiation therapy programme in the AP.
The department is equipped with two linear accelerators with two
photon energies with multi-leaf collimation and a full set of electron
beams. The department also has a computerized treatment planning
system with CT/MRI/PET fusion capability.
The accuracy of radiation treatment
delivery is ensured by the electronic portal imaging for real time
verification of the treated area and a range of sophisticated quality
assurance equipments.
