Rapid Arc

RapidArc is a radiation cancer therapy equipment system that adjusts the three elements of radiation therapy (radiation dose and shape and direction of the radiation beam) according to the most ideal route based on a single rotational axis. At the same time, it keeps the therapy session short and quick with the three elements of treatment optimized, thereby reducing the stress felt by the patient, and there is no treatment error arising from the fine movements made by the patient during treatment. Because the most ideal direction is achieved, the radiation dose is concentrated on the tumor (cancer) tissue, and the radiation exposure including normal tissues can be minimized. As such, RapidArc is regarded as the best radiotherapy technique developed by mankind.
