Waiting times
Once you have been accepted as a patient for ion beam theray at MedAustron, you will be invited to your initial consultation. After this, your treatment has to be carefully planned before the actual irradiation can start. The current waiting time between the initial contact and the start of treatment is usually about 4 to 6 weeks, depending on whether all the examination results necessary for therapy planning are available. Here you can see in detail the process from your request. Until all treatment rooms are ready for full operation, MedAustron only has limited capacities. Assignment of treatment units depends on the degree of medical urgency only.
