You will have an MRI-based planning session to map the tumor’s position. You may be asked to follow certain guidelines, such as dietary adjustments, before your sessions.

While you lie comfortably, the system continuously images the tumor and delivers radiation beams only when it’s precisely in the planned target zone.

Most patients return to regular activities right away. Follow-up visits ensure treatment effectiveness and monitor for any delayed side effects.
