Radixact

What is Radixact?

The Radixact device is a new model in the "tomotherapy" family from Accuray. It is a device that is still rarely used worldwide. Its fundamental feature is its helical (circular) design. The system is formed by combining the megavoltage computed tomography function with linear accelerator systems into a single device.

Radixact

The device consists of a fast multi-leaf collimator and a 6MV LINAC system that form opposing arrays. The dual multi-leaf collimators rapidly move in and out of the field, providing a high degree of dose conformity and intensity modulation. The device, like a computed tomography scanner, performs continuous gantry rotation while delivering radiation, creating the desired homogeneous dose at the target.

Another important feature is that there is no limit to the treatment field size. Unlike other systems, the Radixact has a treatment field of 40x130 cm in the superior-inferior (head-to-foot) direction, allowing for total body irradiation, all-body irradiation, and craniospinal irradiations. The imaging model used for image-guided radiotherapy is real computed tomography images. These images, which are suitable for dose calculation, can also be used for adaptive radiotherapy applications.

What can be done with Radixact?

Some of the main treatment techniques performed with the Radixact device are:

  • Intensity-Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT, 3DCRT)
  • Image-Guided Radiation Therapy (IGRT)
  • Adaptive Radiation Therapy
  • Total and Partial Body Irradiations (TBI)

General features of the Radixact device:

  • Precision treatments can be performed using 3D real computed tomography images.
  • Patients are irradiated with minimal side effects.
  • Patients do not feel pain during treatment.
  • In brain irradiations, scalp protection can be provided to preserve patients' hair.
  • More homogeneous and uniform dose distributions can be achieved in some areas compared to other platforms.
  • Provides uninterrupted treatment capability over wide and long areas.

Healthy Teeth with Three-Dimensional Oral Scanning Technology

Technological advancements are providing significant opportunities in dental care, as in other fields. Dr. Arzu Tekkeli, Clinical Coordinator of the Oral and Dental Health Department at Anadolu Sağlık Merkezi, explains that "three-dimensional oral scanning allows for the internal structure of the mouth to be scanned and images to be transferred to a computer, enabling the production and placement of a new tooth with almost zero error on the same day. Three-dimensional oral scanning, achieved through the digital integration of three different devices, quickly resolves issues such as missing teeth, tooth alignment, broken teeth, fillings, or crowns in just one day. This means patients do not have to make multiple visits to the clinic for treatment. The same method also provides quick and long-lasting results for many other dental problems." Dr. Arzu Tekkeli provided important insights on the topic.

StemWave

Tissue Regeneration Technology (TRT) is based on the principle of using high-energy sound waves (mechanoacoustic) generated by a special liquid and electrical arc system, which are directly delivered to the damaged, painful area via a transducer (mechanotransduction). The successive high-energy sound waves stimulate the healing process at the cellular, tissue, and systemic levels through natural effects in the treated area.

Sialendoscopy Method (Salivary Gland Endoscopy)

Sialendoscopy is an endoscopic procedure that involves visualizing the salivary gland duct and diagnosing and treating salivary gland diseases. The method first diagnoses the pathology within the duct, and then endoscopic treatment is performed either in the same session or in a subsequent session.
