Radiotherapy is one of the medical specialties most dependent on advanced technology. It requires high-cost equipment, powerful computers, and cutting-edge expertise. Metropolitan Hospital continues to lead the way, upgrading its capabilities with the installation of four state-of-the-art radiotherapy systems:
- Halcyon®: equipped with an FFF photon beam and the kV Cone Beam-CT system, it provides high-quality treatments with utmost precision, in significantly reduced time, ensuring maximum safety and minimal burden.
State-of-the-art system for radiotherapy delivery. Non-invasive, with maximum precision and speed
- True Beam®: delivers treatments to any area of the body. It allows patient breath control and moving target tracking, performing even the most demanding treatments in limited time with maximum accuracy.
State-of-the-art system for brachytherapy delivery
- Edge®: designed for radiosurgery patients, it is the fastest system for delivering this technique (to targets inside and outside the central nervous system), combining maximum precision and safety with a patient-friendly environment. It is also equipped with systems that monitor the treatment in real time without burdening the patient.
It features:
State-of-the-art system for radiosurgery delivery. Non-invasive, with maximum precision and speed
- HD120MLC: a pioneering system that, thanks to its technological superiority, ideally guides the beams and ensures maximum targeting accuracy,
- HyperArc: a pioneering system allowing simultaneous treatment of multiple targets in the same treatment session,
- Real-Time Position Management (RPM), Advanced in Room Imaging με 4D Cone Beam-CT and Respiration-Synchronized MV/kV for optimal imaging and real-time monitoring of moving targets,
- IDENTIFY: a system that guides and confirms the treatment in real time through continuous surface mapping of the body (Surface Guided Radiotherapy).
- Bravos: the latest-generation transfer system, exclusively available at Metropolitan Hospital in Greece. It is the only system providing automated quality checks before and during treatment. It allows MR Image Guided Interstitial HDR Brachytherapy with outstanding results. Maximum treatment planning accuracy is provided by Brachy Vision®.
Latest-generation system for the most demanding treatments anywhere in the body
With these machines available, the highly regarded scientists and the excellently trained staff of the Radiation Oncology Center guarantee the best possible approach and management of even the most complex oncological problems.
The Radiation Oncology Center operates in close collaboration with the hospital’s surgical and oncology units. It is supported by the Molecular Biology-Genetics, Pathology, Radiology, Nuclear Medicine, and PET-CT clinics. This collaboration is strengthened through weekly meetings of all medical specialties at the hospital’s Oncology Boards. This mechanism ensures objectivity and reliability of treatment decisions, tailored to each patient’s needs.
The internationally trained staff and highly regarded scientists staffing the Radiation Oncology Center (specialized doctors and medical physicists) guarantee the best possible approach and management, even for the most complex oncological problems. Experienced technologists, nurses, and administrative personnel meet the special requirements of comprehensive patient support, ensuring comfortable and efficient service for patients and their companions.
