⚡ MR LINAC RADIOTHERAPY IN TURKEY
Precision Cancer Treatment Guided by Real-Time MRI Imaging
MR Linac (Magnetic Resonance Linear Accelerator) is one of the most advanced technologies in modern oncology — combining high-resolution MRI imaging with real-time radiation therapy in a single system.
This revolutionary method allows oncologists to see the tumor during treatment, adapt to every subtle movement, and deliver radiation with unmatched accuracy.
Through Medicine Park International, patients from all over the world can access Turkey’s most advanced cancer centers equipped with MRI-guided radiotherapy (MR Linac) — offering cutting-edge treatment at globally competitive costs.
🧬 WHAT IS MR LINAC?
MR Linac unites two technologies into one powerful system:
MRI scanner (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) – provides continuous, detailed visualization of the tumor and surrounding organs.
Linear accelerator (LINAC) – delivers targeted, high-energy radiation to destroy cancer cells.
By merging imaging and treatment in real time, MR Linac enables doctors to adjust the radiation beam during therapy — even as the tumor or internal organs move naturally due to breathing or digestion.
This process is called Adaptive Radiotherapy, and it represents the future of personalized cancer treatment.
🎯 HOW MR LINAC WORKS
Real-Time Imaging:
The system captures live MRI images throughout treatment, giving physicians a continuous view of the tumor.Adaptive Planning:
Each session begins with a new MRI scan. The radiation dose and angles are automatically recalculated based on the day’s anatomy.Precision Delivery:
Radiation is delivered directly to the tumor, while surrounding healthy tissue is spared thanks to millimeter-level accuracy.Continuous Monitoring:
The team monitors tumor response and adjusts the plan for the next session if needed.
🩺 ADVANTAGES OF MR LINAC THERAPY
🧠 Real-Time Visualization: Doctors see exactly where the tumor is, second by second.
🛡️ Protection for Healthy Organs: Continuous imaging ensures radiation hits only the target.
🎯 Adaptive Treatment: Each session adapts to daily changes in the patient’s anatomy.
💬 Fewer Side Effects: Less damage to healthy tissue means better tolerance and quality of life.
🚀 Improved Outcomes: Especially for tumors that move or change shape during therapy.
🧠 CANCERS COMMONLY TREATED WITH MR LINAC
MR Linac is especially beneficial for tumors located close to critical organs or that move with breathing or digestion.
Indications include:
Brain and spinal tumors
Lung cancer
Liver and pancreatic tumors
Prostate cancer
Breast cancer
Abdominal or pelvic tumors
Because MR Linac can track motion in real time, it provides a level of safety and precision that traditional radiotherapy cannot match.
🧩 MR LINAC VS. CONVENTIONAL RADIOTHERAPY
1. Imaging Technology
MR Linac: Uses real-time MRI imaging during each treatment session, allowing doctors to see the tumor continuously.
Conventional Radiotherapy: Uses CT or MRI images taken before treatment, with no live imaging during radiation delivery.
2. Precision and Targeting
MR Linac: Offers sub-millimeter accuracy by tracking the tumor’s movement in real time.
Conventional Radiotherapy: Delivers radiation to a fixed area based on pre-treatment images, without adapting to motion.
3. Adaptability
MR Linac: Adapts the treatment plan before each session, based on daily changes in the patient’s anatomy.
Conventional Radiotherapy: Uses the same plan for all sessions, even if the tumor or organs move.
4. Organ Protection
MR Linac: Continuously monitors healthy tissues and adjusts radiation to avoid unnecessary exposure.
Conventional Radiotherapy: Cannot dynamically protect organs that move or shift during treatment.
5. Side Effects and Comfort
MR Linac: Reduces side effects and improves quality of life thanks to precise dose delivery.
Conventional Radiotherapy: May cause more side effects due to higher radiation exposure to healthy tissue.
