Trilogy Tx Linear Acceleration is an advanced technology of radiation therapy to treat cancer. All types of radiations such as IGRT, IMRT, SRS can be obtained from one machine.
It has got unique features and is useful in providing the patients Image Guided Radiotherapy (IGRT), Gated Radiotherapy and Intensity Modulated Radiotherapy (IMRT). It also provides stereotactic radiation facilities as well. Here, the breathing patterns are focused on which helps in targeting the breast tumor present in the body. The radiation used is focused on the moving target which is the breast tumor so that only the breat tumor is targeted for the cancer treatement.

There are basically 5 stages of prostate cancer which ranges from Stage 0 to Stage IV. Stage 0 is the starting stage and in Stage IV the cancer spreads to other parts of the body including distant lymph nodes and bones.
Treatment of cancer has evolved greatly, with significant improvements in radiology. Imaging is a major component of cancer detection. Some of the imaging tests used for finding various types of cancers are X-rays, CT-Scan, Ultrasound, Mammogram Imaging, MRI Scan, PET Scan and Nuclear Medicine scan.
