Manipal Hospital Installs India's First AI-Enabled Adaptive Radiotherapy System
Manipal Hospital in Bengaluru has installed India's first Elekta Evo, an AI-enhanced system for adaptive radiotherapy.
This technology allows doctors to adjust radiation treatment plans in real-time, making cancer treatment more precise and personalized.
The hospital has already treated its first patient with locally advanced rectal cancer using this system, and the results have been promising with minimal side effects.
This installation is a significant step forward in cancer care in India, where the number of new cancer cases is growing.
The Elekta Evo system uses advanced imaging and software to help doctors make better treatment decisions, ultimately improving patient outcomes.
Manipal Hospital in Bengaluru installed India's first Elekta Evo AI-enhanced adaptive CT-Linac platform.
The system enables Online Adaptive Radiotherapy (ART), allowing for personalized and precise radiation therapy.
The hospital successfully treated its first patient with locally advanced rectal cancer using the new technology.
Initial results show minimal side effects and precise tumor targeting with the Elekta Evo system.
The installation marks a significant advancement in cancer care in India, where 1.46 million new cancer cases are diagnosed annually.
