Nagpur: Nowadays cancer is spreading like an epidemic all over the world irrespective of gender, age, or class. Considering this we as a team atDatta Meghe Institute of Higher Education and Research, Sawangi, Wardhahave established the Siddharth Gupta Memorial Cancer Hospital, a comprehensive cancer unit with state-of-the-art technology with highly qualified medical and paramedical professionals. We at DMIHER have a Vital Beam Linear accelerator from Varian Medical Systems which is not only highly advanced in radiotherapy treatment but also helps to precise and accurate for targeting millimetric tumors. Along with this, we have Gamma Med Plus iX after loader-based brachytherapy which involves internal radiation therapy delivery with the benefit of a higher level of conformity with reduced toxicity.says Dr. Anurag Luharia,Head & Consultant Radio Physicist & Consultant Radiological Safety Officer (Radiology / Therapy / Nuclear Medicine)Datta Meghe Institute of Higher Education and Research, Sawangi, Wardha.
Dr. Anurag Luharia,Head & Consultant Radio Physicist & Consultant Radiological Safety Officer (Radiology / Therapy / Nuclear Medicine)DattaMeghe Institute of Higher Education and Research, Sawangi, Wardhafurther added,The main component of the cancer treatment consists of radiation which can be given with radical and palliative intent. The radiation therapy for cancer treatment needs a sophisticated understanding of high-end technology used for treatment planning and delivery. The team at the Radiation Therapy department comprises the radiological safety officer, radiation oncologist, radio physicist, radiotherapy technologist, and RT nurses. The whole team is responsible for managing the treatment from day zero until completion and designing individualized treatment for each patient. Radiation consists of the generation of X-rays from the highly advanced radiation generation machine. The linear accelerator is nothing but a high-energy X-ray generating machine that works on instructions fed to it by a computer-based planning system, which is under the administration of and maintained by Govt. recognized, qualified, and experienced Dr. Anurag Luharia, Head, Radio-Physicist, and Radiological Safety Officer.
The goal of the institute for individual patients is to cure cancer completely with the finest local control, without compromising the quality of life of the patient. This highly precise radiation therapy procedure requires optimum planning and execution which is promised with the help of a stringent quality assurance program aims to improve development and test processes. The performance of a machine is dependent on its periodic servicing, done by the expert RSO; which is performed on our highly advanced Linear accelerator machine in the form of timely check-ups with daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly quality assurance procedures.
Before treatment delivery, during, and post-treatment quality assurance and safety are the top priority for us. At our institute, every component of the system undergoes a well-planned quality audit, performed and managed by Dr. Anurag Luharia. The main aim of these procedures is to ensure precise and safe treatment to the patients and deliver the quality that we promise. In the most recent Dose quality audit verified against Statutory laboratory standards, the dose precision at DMIHER came out to be 99% accuratevalidated by the competent regulatory body for radiation practices in India. Beyond that, the regular servicing and periodic QA are audited and maintained consistently as per the Indian regulatory body i.e. the Atomic Energy Regulatory Board.
This audit result of 99% accuracy and a highly qualified team of professionals with an extensive radiation quality assurance program with staff and patient safety management by Dr. Anurag Luharia assures that DMIHER makes you high-quality and precise treatment with the best patient care at a radiation facility of DMIHER.
