An indispensable part of radiation therapy
Brachytherapy treatment is a form of radiotherapy that can be used to treat many types of cancer. Brachytherapy is sometimes known as internal radiation therapy or when used to treat prostate cancer seed therapy.
Brachytherapy makes it possible for the radiation oncologist to deliver higher doses of radiation to more specific areas of the body in comparison to conventional forms of radiation therapy (external beam radiation). Today 2 out of 3 patients receive care with our brachytherapy solutions.*
* Based on market share for high dose rate brachytherapy (HDR),
We're committed to providing patients with the highest levels of health and clinical excellence, and our brachytherapy solutions are designed for the precise, targeted treatment of various cancers including:
Brachytherapy is suited as a single modality or in combination with other treatments such as external beam radiation therapy and stereotactic body radiation therapy.

Elekta Studio is a complete and optimal solution for image-guided BT that revolves around the patient and enables clinicians to conduct the entire image guided brachytherapy (IGBT) workflow without moving the patient from room to room.
Using these imaging techniques your radiation oncologists are able to unleash the full potential of interventional radiotherapy, maximising the efficiency of the destruction of cancer cells and minimising the risk of damage to healthy tissue.
With Elekta Studio brachytherapy suite you can bring high quality CT imaging to the patients, allowing:
Ensure shorter treatment cycles, reduced risk of applicator or needle displacement, and a better overall experience for your patients
Workflow precision (images at any time, reduces the risk of applicator displacement) and workflow flexibility (manage different kinds of workflow)
