In the words of one of our employees<\/h5>\n

“For me, as a radiology technologist, it is especially pleasing to be able to take away the fear and give confidence to the patients from day to day.”<\/h3>\n

About Treatment<\/h1>\n

Details about the therapy process<\/a>, our medical team<\/a> and the patient services team<\/a> can be found on the respective pages.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/section>\n\n

The treatment process<\/h1>\n

Our approach to treatment planning is as individual as our patients\u2019 medical histories.<\/p>\n \n

No two therapy processes are the same. Nevertheless, there are some parameters that characterize each treatment in order to ensure the greatest possible precision and safety for our patients.<\/p>\n \n

Patient information<\/h6>\n

At the beginning of your treatment, you will be invited to a medical consultation, where your doctor will give you information on your tumor disease and take time to answer your questions about effect and possible side effects of the ion beam therapy as well as the treatment process.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n

\n

Preparations<\/h6>\n

Once all the details have been clarified and you have given your consent to the treatment, some preparations are necessary first. Individual positioning aids are made for you, for example thermoplastic masks or positioning mattresses. This is necessary so that you can be irradiated with high precision and the healthy tissue remains optimally spared. These aids ensure that you are in the exact same position for each treatment.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n

\n

CT examination<\/h6>\n

We then perform a CT scan. By means of these CT images, an individual irradiation plan will be created for you. Before starting the treatment, the parameters are precisely calculated, how the tumor can best be irradiated with optimal protection of the surrounding healthy tissue at the same time.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n

\n
4<\/span><\/div>\n
Treatment sessions<\/h6>\n

During your actual treatment, you will come to MedAustron for a daily irradiation session. It individually depends on your tumor disease, how many sessions will be required. The tumor will be irradiated with small single doses per fraction until the calculated total dose is reached, which can destroy the tumor.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n

\n
5<\/span><\/div>\n
Painless irradiation<\/h6>\n

The actual irradiation itself is completely painless. The ion beam scans the tumor layer by layer and applies the previously calculated dose at each point of the tumor.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n

\n

High-tech equipment and a pleasant atmosphere do not have to be a contradiction: in our building, light-flooded waiting areas and warm wood all the way into the treatment rooms create a comfortable ambience.<\/p>\n

In the radiation rooms we adapt light color and music to the individual wishes of our patients. Safety is ensured by the robot-controlled couch in the treatment room, on which the patient is always in the correct position with millimeter precision during irradiation. Above all, however, there is the individual care provided by our entire team, who is always open to listen to our patients’ questions and concerns.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n
