High-Dose Rate (HDR) Brachytherapy is a precise, internal radiation therapy that targets tumors from the inside out. A tiny radioactive source is temporarily placed inside or near the cancer using image-guided catheters. It delivers a high dose in minutes disrupting cancer cells while sparing healthy tissue.

Why it matters:

Pinpoint accuracy

Fewer sessions

Minimal side effects

Ideal for prostate, cervical, and breast cancers, HDR Brachytherapy is fast, focused, and highly effective.

What to Expect During a PET/CT Scan

A PET/CT scan combines two powerful imaging tools to provide precise and accurate diagnostics:

Radioactive Tracers – Pinpoint abnormal metabolic activity
PET Scan – Detects disease at the cellular level
CT Scan – Maps detailed structural images
This advanced technology helps with early detection, cancer staging, and treatment monitoring—giving doctors the insights needed to improve patient outcomes.

Knowledge is power—share this with someone who might need it.
