Digital Telecobalt Unit
Cobalt 60 radioisotope based Bhabhatron II is a highly advanced digital teletherapy unit offering the users features like Record and Verify interface and DICOM compatibility which not only makes the system paperless but also ensures seamless connection between the simulator, treatment planning system and Bhabhatron II. High end features like asymmetric collimator, motorised wedge and 6-hour battery backup combined with the sophisticated interlocks and indexed carbon fibre couch ensures accurate treatment delivery without compromising the safety of patients and the end user. With a source head capacity of 250 RMM and an SAD of 80 cm Bhabhatron II is capable of treating square fields up to 35x35 cm.
The jaw-based collimation system of Bhabhatron II has led to the development of Bhabhatron MLC, the ground-breaking implementation of (secondary) MLC in a cobalt radiotherapy unit while maintaining the same patient clearance and the SAD of 80 cm. This advancement in technology can be utilised even by the existing [1] Bhabhatron II users as the units can be upgraded to Bhabhatron MLC in a short span of time.
Bhabhatron MLC empowers the users to confidently deliver high end treatment modalities like 3D Conformal Radiotherapy (3D-CRT), Arc Therapy and Non-Co-Planar beam-based treatment.
All these features come at a highly affordable price along with low running and maintenance cost for centres deterred by capital-intensive radiotherapy installation.
* All older versions of Bhabhatron II may not be upgradable to Bhabhatron MLC. Please contact our sales team for more details.
