The Donaustadt Clinic is introducing a new 3 Tesla MRI device that significantly speeds up radiation planning for cancer patients.
Revolution in cancer therapy: Donaustadt Clinic starts with new MRI!
In the fight against cancer, the Donaustadt Clinic brings a breath of fresh air into treatment methods. A new high-performance MRI machine has been introduced that not only significantly speeds up radiation therapy, but also revolutionizes the entire planning process for cancer patients. Loud gesundheitsverbund.at The 3 Tesla MRI device enables up to 20 times more MRI appointments per week, which has significant advantages for patients.
The Donaustadt Clinic is now the first center in Austria to have its own 3 Tesla MRI. This not only increases the image quality of the scans, but also improves the localization of the smallest cancer foci, which is crucial for the treatment of tumors in the prostate, brain, spine, rectum and gynecological areas. Cancer patients can now have their planning scans carried out within a few days of the initial consultation, greatly reducing waiting times. The radiation can also take place 3-5 working days later or, in urgent cases, even on the same day oe24.at reported.
Technological advances in radiation therapy
Previously, the planning scans had to be carried out at the Institute for Diagnostic and Interventional Radiology, which could lead to longer waiting times. The new MRI is associated with technical optimizations that not only make clinical operations more efficient, but also benefit regular patients, as the other MRI machines are now increasingly available for general examinations.
The new device also offers improved software for evaluating MRI images. This enables more precise differentiation of tissue changes and promises more precise creation of treatment plans. The innovative technology could also help to develop more individual therapeutic approaches, such as scisimple.com notes.
In total, around 38,000 cancer patients benefit from the Vienna Health Network every year. The new possibilities offered by MRI not only improve diagnostics, but also the overall quality of treatment. This creates an all-round package that covers all phases of cancer treatment, from the initial consultation through planning to radiation and aftercare. The future looks promising for everyone who wants to advance affected areas and further treatments in Austria.
