How the irradiation takes place
The Multiscan Radiology Centre Pardubice started operating the radiotherapy department in January 2003 and in March of the same year inaugurated a newly installed linear accelerator equipped with the latest technology for IMRT treatment. It continued to operate the Teragam cobalt irradiator, which was dismantled and replaced by a new linear accelerator in 2008. At the same time, the existing linear accelerator was upgraded. Since 2006, the department has been equipped with a high dose rate brachytherapy (treatment from a short or contact distance) machine. The Wolf - Medizintechnik T-200 X-ray irradiator is used for the treatment of non-cancerous diseases. The department holds a quality certificate from the German company TÜV - Rheinland (quality certificate according to ČSN EN ISO 9001:2016).

Specifics of the care provided
Brachytherapy is a radiation treatment used alone or in addition to external radiation. The radiation treatment uses a small radioactive source from a radiation machine, which is introduced into the patient's body using special equipment to deliver the radiation in a short time (a few minutes). After the irradiation, the source leaves the patient's body and is again stored in the irradiation machine.
The Eclipse planning system with the BrachyVision module is used. We perform 3D planning and fusion with CT, MR or PET images as required. In the treatment of cervical cancer we also use a combination of itracavitary application with interstitial needle puncture, using a unique applicator developed at our department.
