The Radiation Oncology department of AIIMS Kalyani started its service with a state-of-the-art radiotherapy machine (High Energy Linear Accelerator) on February 9, 2024. We can now offer a wide range of high-end radiation services.

Radiotherapy (RT) is one of the important treatments for cancer patients. More than 50% of cancer patients need RT at some point of their treatment. A linear accelerator, also known as a LINAC, is a sophisticated radiotherapy device that uses precision technology to direct radiation only towards cancerous tumors, sparing surrounding healthy tissue. Radiation therapy is constantly evolving and pushing the boundaries. HELA is a ground-breaking linear accelerator that enables us to safely and efficiently deliver conventional radiation therapies to treat a wide range of tumors throughout the body, while also enabling sophisticated approaches to traditionally difficult cases requiring extreme targeting precision.

To minimize long-term side effects and maximize tumor control, the facility offers high-precision, advanced radiotherapy using intensity modulated radiotherapy (IMRT), volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT), image guided radiotherapy (IGRT), stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT), stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) and electron therapy.

In addition to LINAC, we have brachytherapy equipment, and after regulatory work is completed in a month, we will be beginning their services. AIIMs Kalyani will provide all brachytherapy-related services, including ICRT, SORBO, ISRT, ILRT, etc.
