Studied the first in Ukraine Halcyon from Varian Medical Systems for irradiation of oncological tumors. The accelerator is installed in the Kiev Regional Oncology Dispensary.

Figures in the issue: 140,000 new cancer cases per year 70,000 deaths from cancer per year 2 million USD approximate price of the accelerator 65% in this number of cases radiation therapy is needed for cancer 50/100 - people receive therapy per day now and 100 can 1 minute / 5 minutes - irradiation session, total time per patient 24 m - area of the bunker for installation 14 days - installation of the accelerator Halcyon is a modern medical linear accelerator, which is very similar to MRI or CT devices in its design. This was done specifically so that patients did not have fears and they felt comfortable. Halcyon also provides the most modern quality of treatment in the world today. The cool thing about the device is that it can be placed in similar-sized and protected bunkers from old cobalt devices, which is very important for the post-Soviet space. For the patient, this is a significant reduction in the number of steps (and therefore time and errors), for irradiation - there are literally 10 of them instead of 30 previously. The super modern and multi-level security system practically makes it impossible to make mistakes! The main key advantages of the modern system of this accelerator: very high efficiency of the device comfort and safety of the patient increased throughput of the device, due to the reduction of time per patient commissioning in 14 days or less bunker from the old cobalt device, reduced costs of building a new bunker In the issue: 00:00 Announcement 01:13 Department of the Kyiv Regional Oncology Dispensary 03:33 Advantages of the Halcyon accelerator from Varian 05:10 Patient comfort 06:10 Time for patient treatment 07:10 Number of patients per day 07:45 Inside the Halcyon accelerator 08:34 Accelerator installation time 10:40 Accelerator training 12:20 Trilogy linear accelerator 12:47 Manufacturing of an individual mask 14:19 Fitting on a linear accelerator for irradiation
