Procedure
For radiation planning, special MRI sequences are then performed to detect the tumor lesions within the prostate.
Before each irradiation session, a CT scan is taken in the irradiation position by the edge linear accelerator, which allows very precise control of the correct irradiation position. This is followed by irradiation using a special rotation technique, during which the exact position of the prostate can be checked by the implanted markers using an electronic signal and corrected if necessary. This ensures optimum precision and safety during the treatment itself.
