Radiation Therapy Center Amethyst, Vienna

Amethyst is a modern radiotherapy center located in the heart of Vienna!

Radiation therapy is an integral part of modern oncology. Along with medical and surgical treatment, radiation can greatly increase the chances of recovery.

Many benign diseases such as plantar fasciitis (calcaneal spur), inflammation of the Achilles tendon, "tennis elbow" and "golfer's elbow", cartilage and tendon wear are successfully treated with low radiation doses.

The main thing in our work is personal comprehensive support based on modern scientific knowledge.
Before making a decision on therapy, we carefully discuss all issues during a consultation with the patient.

Individual therapy without queues

• You can start therapy with us quickly, without waiting in line.
• Radiation therapy is planned individually for each patient "on order", based on computed tomography. With the help of a computer, a radio-oncologist and a medical physicist draw up an individual treatment plan. At the same time, the main focus is on the maximum protection of healthy organs and tissues.
• A therapy session lasts 10-15 minutes and takes place daily for several weeks.
• During therapy, you are constantly under the supervision of doctors. If necessary, we provide supportive dietary and physiotherapy.
• After the end of radiation therapy, we are always ready to help you and offer regular follow-up examinations.

The latest technology

• Radiation therapy using modern equipment significantly increases the chances of recovery in many cancers. At the same time, neighboring organs can be protected and side effects can be minimized.
• Our center is equipped with innovative precision medical equipment from Elekta: we use the latest generation linear accelerator with a built-in CT scanner, which allows us to use all modern methods of radiation therapy.

LINEAR ACCELERATOR ELEKTA VERSA HD™

Radiation to the brain, spine, lungs, liver, or prostate, the Versa HD delivers precision and quality of therapy without increasing treatment time for any location.

Advanced visualization options

4D visual guidance with real-time anatomy tracking before, during and after treatment means that 2D, 3D and 4D images can be used to navigate procedures.

Excellent target irradiation conformity

The combination of the Agility HD Beamformer and the Monaco® Therapy Planning System achieves 1mm virtual lobe resolution for conformal stereotaxic treatment of small or multiple targets across the entire 40 x 40 cm treatment field.

Accuracy

With the Versa HD system, the final error is less than a millimeter.

Patient Protection

Only Elekta offers Vital Structure Exclusion (CSA) technology to meet clinical requirements and maximize healthy tissue protection.

Movement control

With the help of advanced imaging and motion control technologies, it is possible to avoid the difficulties caused by movement and safely perform stereotaxic radiation therapy of the lung or prostate.

Versa HD is a flexible system that opens up new possibilities

Innovative radiotherapy methods

• Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT).
• Synchronization of irradiation with breathing (Gating).
• Stereotactic radiotherapy.
• Rotational Volume Modulated Irradiation (VMAT).
• Image Guided Radiation Therapy (IGRT).
• Carrying out PET-CT in cooperation with the radiological center.
