Conformational radiotherapy is a very accurate procedure based on the definition of tumor volume. The digital reconstruction of tumor volume using a state-of-the-art spiral CT scanner results in an accurate detailed 3D image of the region to be treated.
The position of the patient is established before treatment, and the patient is immobilized with a thermoplastic mask and a polyurethane cast to ensure reproducibility throughout treatment.

The physicist and the physician, who together devise the treatment plan, simulate the direction of the beams and select the best orientation using a beam's-eye-view display (BEV). The latter is a computer-generated image that presents a patient's anatomy as it would appear to a viewer located at the radiation source and looking toward the isocenter (link to high-precision radiotherapy).
Our equipment is combined with a modern and sophisticated multi-leaf system so that we are able to shield, dynamically or statically, the at-risk organs in order to use 3D radiotherapy on such organs as the prostate gland, brain, lung and pancreas.
The philosophy of 3D conformal radiotherapy is to administer higher radiation doses, compared with conventional radiotherapy, without damaging the tissue surrounding the target, this is possible thanks to calculation systems that provide dose-volume histograms. Therefore, the risk of complications is reduced and the treatment is more effective.
